The first floor walls are now being added atop the underground parking. Salishan Place construction is picking up speed — and giant slabs of concrete. The walls of the new museum and cultural facility in Fort Langley are prefabricated off site and later fit into place. This will become the new home of the Langley Centennial Museum in the summer of 2023.

Up, up and away. The concrete slab is hoisted into place. Watch for an Open House to unveil interior design concepts and exhibits coming up in early June. The Langley Heritage Society will continue to fund student visits to the museum, and sponsor study spaces.
Salishan Place, will feature Indigenous and community galleries, program spaces, community archives, a reception hall, a 167-seat theatre, and the Fort Langley Community Library. The new complex is being developed in collaboration with Katzie, Kwantlen, Matsqui, and Semiahmoo First Nations.
