Paul Weme, Executive Director
We care a lot about Langley. It's our home, too. From Downtown Langley, to Aldergrove, Brookswood, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Walnut Grove, Willoughby and Willowbrook, we want to make this the preferred place to live and raise a family in the Lower Mainland.
What we've seen is a gap in federal, provincial and municipal funding for key infrastructure projects in the Lower Mainland. The Langley Foundation is here to fill this gap for our communities. We work with key leaders on future, underfunded, and abandoned projects, to bring about tangible and lasting change where it's needed most.
The Langley Foundation proudly launches the "I Love Langley" Campaign for families, neighbours, and leaders who want to invest in our community's future. Each donation directly supports trails, parks, trees, infrastructure, arts, and culture. You aren't just donating, you're investing in Langley's future.
After providing for your family and loved ones, your can create a legacy by leaving a bequest in your will to The Langley Foundation. What does this mean? It means your values and passions you held during your lifetime will be honoured for future generations to enjoy. Connect with Inga Warnock, Director of Planned Giving, to start your journey with The Langley Foundation today.
