Help Make Your Neighbourhood Safer - Volunteer Now!

We're looking for volunteers in Langley City, including residents, community groups, and local businesses, who want to help make their neighbourhoods safer and more welcoming by building stronger neighbourhood connections.

Resilient Neighbourhood Networks bring neighbours together to share information, build trust, and support one another during everyday challenges or emergencies. By getting involved, you can play a direct role in strengthening your community close to home.

More details about volunteering are below, along with a short form to express your interest.

A resilient neighbourhood is one where people feel connected, informed, and supported, and where neighbours know how to respond together when challenges arise.

RNNs help neighbourhoods:

  • Build stronger relationships with neighbours, local groups and businesses
  • Learn and share practical skills related to safety, preparedness and local supports
  • Stay informed about what's happening in the community
  • Shape gatherings, learning opportunities, and neighbourhood priorities

Strong, connected neighbourhoods grow when residents are directly involved. By joining an RNN, you can:

  • Share ideas to improve safety, connection, and preparedness
  • Help shape the activities, tools, and supports for your area
  • Take part in free, accessible training that builds community-building skills

Your lived experience matters. Your voice helps shape how RNNs grow across Langley City.

Participation is welcome from:

  • Langley City residents
  • Community groups and non-profits
  • Local businesses and business associations
  • Service providers and grassroots initiatives
  • Faith, cultural, education, and neighbourhood-based organizations

No prior experience is needed – just an interest in strengthening community connections.

Community safety is our top priority.

We’re building a city where everyone feels safe, supported, and connected by investing in:
  • emergency response (Fire, RCMP, Bylaws)
  • safer public spaces
  • social planning
  • vibrant community events
  • basic infrastructure
