Mr Heritage

Congratulations to LHS president Fred Pepin for receiving the King's Coronation Medal! Twenty-one local recipients were honoured with them by Langley-Aldergrove MP Take van Popta. Recipients have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada. Fred has been dedicated to heritage preservation for more than 45 years and we are so fortunate to have his guidance and knowledge.

January’s Valley Voices

Happy New Year! We begin 2020 in conversation with Langley Heritage Society president Fred Pepin, pictured above at his portable sawmill. Over the years he drilled 2,400 irrigation wells on farms across the Fraser Valley and employed a well-witcher who boasted a 90% success rate. Also on the show:  you can learn a lot about local history through its cookbooks. We see what's cooking in the Newman Western Canadian Cookbook Collection at the University of the Fraser Valley Library with librarian Mary-Anne MacDougall. Learn more about the collection HERE.  Valley Voices is heard Wednesdays at 11 am on CIVL 101.7 FM at the University of the Fraser Valley, or by listening via link HERE.
