B.C. premier says new government offices in Langford 'long overdue'

Langford to add 38.5 acres of parkland near Jordie Lunn Bike Park, Glen Lake

  VICTORIA Dozens of acres of forest land are set to be dedicated to Langford over the next several weeks. The land is coming from the Westhills Land Corporation, which promised 38.5 acres of forest to the municipality as part of a development agreement. The property, located in central Langford, includes 3.5 acres connected to the upcoming Jordie Lunn Bike Park, and 35 acres on the east side of the West Shore Parkway, near Glen Lake. The larger parcel connects to existing trails, and can be used for walking, hiking, biking and potentially rock climbing. The municipality says a section of the land will be reviewed for potential rock-climbing projects, in partnership with the South Island Climbers Association.

Under pressure, Langford to share audio recording of meetings, and eventually livestream

Most other municipalities in the region post audio and video of council meetings to their websites within 24 hours, allowing residents to catch up on council discussions. Young hopes that staff will be able to provide an audio recording of the next council meeting on Jan. 18. “They are working on that right now,” he said. In December, council was slammed by residents and municipal watchdog Grumpy Taxpayer$ of Greater Victoria for deciding in private not to livestream their meetings. Young said livestreaming would be a waste of money right now, because councillors are working from home and council chambers are empty, but he expects the city will start livestreaming by the time it’s safe to resume in-person meetings.

Manufactured-home residents 'hope for best' after land sale finalized

Langford manufactured-home residents 'hope for best' after land sale finalized

Residents of the park own their homes, which range in assessed value from $25,000 to $300,000, and pay a monthly rent for the land. Rob Jolly and Laurina Norris, who were preparing to sell their manufactured home before they received notice the park was up for sale, are feeling more optimistic they’ll have a fair resolution after hearing from a representative of the new owner Thursday morning. The couple has moved to the Interior but has been stuck paying about $1,300 to $1,500 a month for rent and utilities for the empty home for more than a year. “[The owner’s representative] said: ‘What do you want to make you whole?’ ” Jolly said. “As a pitch, it doesn’t get better than that.”
