About Invest Langley City

Invest Langley City is a community informed 10-year plan to deliver lasting value through practical, smart investments built with everyone in mind.

The plan focuses on un-funded strategic municipal infrastructure, facilities and public spaces to advance Langley City's vision.

As our community continues to grow, Langley City has recognized the need for major capital investments, to be guided by community input. These investments include two key facilities that will support the health and wellbeing of our citizens.

Two key projects

  • Aquatic Centre

    To provide leisure, fitness and expanded recreation programs for all ages.




  • Performing Arts and Cultural Centre (PACC)

    To create a hub for cultural expression, provide expanded recreation programs, and attract newcomers and tourists. The PACC would be combined with an expanded Timms Community Centre.

How we got here

Both these projects reflect consistent community support and over 15 years of research:

  • 2006: Completed the Al Anderson Memorial Pool Expansion and Renovation Study.
    • Key findings: Explored expansion options including outdoor, indoor/outdoor, and fully indoor pools, as well as new recreational spaces.
  • 2023: Completed the City's Park, Recreation and Culture Plan
    • Key findings: Recommended an indoor leisure pool to meet existing and future needs in addition to possible retrofitting of the existing outdoor pool.
  • 2025: Launched a new Aquatics Feasibility Study to assess current needs and options with community input.
    • Visit this webpage to learn about key findings and next steps.
  • 2013: Conducted a study in partnership with the Township of Langley, Langley School District, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and Trinity Western University.
    • Key findings
      • Significant need for improved arts facilities.
      • Existing spaces are inadequate for current and future activities.
      • Recommended a comprehensive needs assessment, stakeholder consultation, and collaborative visioning.
  • 2013: Established the Performing Arts and Culture Task Force to help design the centre.
  • 2018: Updated the 2013 work, focusing on the feasibility of a cultural facility in downtown Langley City.
    • Key findings:
      • Strong demand for performing arts spaces and a children’s museum, with local organizations and schools as primary users.
      • Recommended locating the PACC at Timms Community Centre, a central site near City Hall and the library, offering high visibility, good access, and potential as a cultural catalyst.

Opportunities to provide feedback

We completed phase 1 engagement in fall 2025 asking for early feedback on these two key projects.

There will be two additional rounds of engagement with more detailed information shared with residents in early and late spring 2026.

Subject to what we learn in the next phases of engagement, we intend to launch a non-binding community opinion poll concurrent with the local general election on October 17, 2026. With this poll, we want to ensure Langley City voters have an opportunity to share their views to help guide the incoming Council in deciding on which projects to move forward. See our timeline for additional information.
