Date

Langley City, BC –  Langley City Council is investing nearly $170,000 in local programs, events, and services through the 2026 Community Grant Program, supporting initiatives that strengthen neighbourhood connections, expand access to community services, celebrate arts and culture, and enhance quality of life for residents. 

A total of 45 community organizations and initiatives are receiving funding through this year’s program, each contributing to a more connected, inclusive, and vibrant community across Langley City. 

“Community organizations and volunteers play a key role in making Langley City a welcoming and engaged community,” said Mayor Nathan Pachal. “From local festivals and cultural celebrations to youth programs, seniors’ services, and neighbourhood events, these groups help create real connections between people across our community. When we invest in them, we’re investing in the relationships, creativity, and shared experiences that make Langley City feel like home.”  

Funding through the 2026 program supports a wide range of initiatives, including youth leadership and graduation events, seniors programming, arts and cultural festivals, sports and recreation opportunities, environmental stewardship, neighbourhood celebrations, multicultural initiatives, and community-based health and wellness programs. 

The grants also help leverage volunteer efforts and community partnerships that create lasting local impact throughout the year. 

“The City grant makes it possible for Langley Secondary School (LSS) Dry Grad to offer a safe, inclusive celebration where every graduate from LSS can participate without financial barriers” said Lauren Alonzo, Co-Chair of the LSS Dry Grad Committee, which received funding through the City’s 2026 Community Grant Program. “It directly supports essential costs, allowing us to create a fun, secure environment that prioritizes student well-being and memorable experiences.”  

The Community Grant Program provides financial assistance to non-profit organizations and community groups whose work benefits Langley City residents and aligns with Council priorities around community wellbeing, inclusion, engagement, and vibrancy. 

Since its launch in 2018, the Community Grant Program has invested nearly $2.77 million in community-led programs, events, and services across Langley City.
