All filming in the City of Langley must retain the services of a Film Site Liaison; please contact our office for details.
Langley City welcomes the film industry to our community. To help all parties and to recognize the unique benefits that can be afforded to our residents and our community through the film industry, the City has established policies and guidelines to provide general direction when considering filming within Langley City.
In addition to these policies, we expect all production companies, their cast, and their crews to abide by the Creative BC Film Industry Code of Conduct for Cast and Crew, which outlines community expectations when filming in British Columbia.
