Langley City is looking for a few good people to help guide the future direction of the community by serving on the board of variance, and the crime prevention, environmental and arts and culture task groups, which all have vacancies to fill.
Board of Variance has an opening for one person.
It is a five-member, independent body that primarily deals with requests from citizens for the relaxation of regulations for siting, size and dimensions of buildings where compliance with the City’s zoning bylaw would cause an undue hardship.
City Council is looking for one individual with an interest in serving a three-year term from 2021-2023.
Meetings are usually scheduled at 7 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of the month on an ‘as needed’ basis.
Members are advised two weeks in advance of scheduled meetings.
