Are you part of the farming, food-processing or agri-tourism industries and want to get more involved in your community? The Township of Langley is seeking volunteers for the Agricultural Advisory Committee.
The purpose of the Agricultural Advisory Committee is to provide advice to Council on public policies and priorities to advance the Township of Langley Sustainability Charter, specifically to strengthen the agricultural economy; recognize the rural character as an essential community feature; protect views, characteristic landscapes, and rural roads; and preserve the agricultural land base for food production.

- an agri-tourism business (owner or employee) in the Township, or
- a representative of the food processing industry in the Township, or
- a youth representative from the Young Agrarians’ Land Matching Program in Langley and the Learning Farms at Langley Secondary School and Aldergrove Community Secondary School.
