Your input made waves — we heard you!

In fall 2025, we had over 2,000 interactions with Langley City residents and pool users about the future of aquatic services in Langley City. Your input is directly informing the feasibility study, which will define the types of aquatic programs we need, test different design options, and estimate costs.

The engagement report and the aquatics feasibility study will inform the City’s Invest Langley City plan. This 10-year plan recognizes the need for major capital investments in the city, including an Aquatics Centre and a Performing Arts and Cultural Centre. These facilities will support the health and well-being of our citizens.
