Growing Langford gets its own electoral district

The province has adopted recommendations from the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission to add six new electoral districts to BC. The changes include carving out a new jurisdiction to recognize the influx of new residents in the City of Langford.
 
“The population of Langford has grown by approximately 32% over the past five years and is projected to continue growing rapidly,” states the provincial news release. “To address this, a new electoral district is being added whose boundaries follow the municipal boundaries of the city of Langford and the district of Highlands.”
