Thanks Toots!

    Volunteer Toots Tucker recently shared some of her lovely plants with us for the Fort Langley CNR Station's heritage garden. Station Manager Helen Williams says Toots kindly donated Daffodils, Columbine, Bluebell, Iris – bearded, and dwarf Peony. Helen and volunteer Julie-Anne Patterson transplanted them from Toot's garden to their new home at the Fort Langley CNR Station.  It's another wonderful gesture from our longtime volunteer -- who's anxious to see visitors again when we're able to reopen.                     CNR Station Manager Helen Williams, volunteers Toots Tucker and Julie-Anne Patterson

Another Virtual May Day Parade

The annual May Day Parade has been a part of life in Langley for 99 years. The last two events have been cancelled thanks to the pandemic, but our friends at the Langley Centennial Museum and Fort Langley Lions Club have created another virtual parade HERE. It includes many archival images from the earliest days of the parade, which was also held for a number of years at Langley Prairie. Plans are already in the works for a live parade during the centennial in 2022.
