invasives at Routley Park last Saturday – running out of weeds to pull But the organizers pivoted to another park needing attention – Meadows Edge Park A total of 39 community members came together to remove invasive Himalayan blackberry this past Saturday "The location of this activity changed at the last minute to Meadows Edge Park due to there not being enough invasive plants for the people signed up to remove at Routley Park It's a great problem to have and means that the efforts of our team and the Township of Langley are being incredibly effective together," said Ashton Kerr Lower Mainland Green Team partnerships manager 21 were visiting Meadows Edge Park for the first time (despite a large majority of participants being residents) and 13 were removing invasive plants for the first time They removed five cubic metres or 31 bathtubs full of Himalayan blackberries. For many and make a meaningful difference, Kerr said “I think this event helped make the park a better place,” shared Icy a local youth who joined the activity with her family “It showed me that even though I’m just a kid Seeing all the blackberries we pulled out made me feel proud.” This activity built on restoration work by the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) and their TD Tree Days planting at this park in October 2024 "LEPS does incredible work in the Township and we want to build and uplift the work they are doing whenever we can Joining their wide variety of programming is a great way for local residents to get further involved in caring for nature in their community," Kerr added

newly-purchased piece of private property The new South Langley Regional Park totals 44 hectares (108.7 acres) and includes the former Municipal Natural Park and a piece of former private property

always well used and she sees hikers and people walking their dogs whenever she visits is accessible off 224 Street near 4 Avenue and extends to the east Metro Vancouver bought the new parcel of land for $6.13 million Metro Vancouver is helping to keep the region livable for future generations of residents and visitors,” said Mike Hurley chair of Metro Vancouver’s Board of Directors “I’m proud to see us making real progress on our parkland acquisition strategy and look forward to strolling through this new park.” including portions of the Little Campbell River and Kerfoot Creek The park also includes existing walking and equestrian trails and buffers the South Langley Regional Trail we can create great new rural parks for Langley but for the region," said Township Mayor Eric Woodward. "I really value the role Metro Vancouver plays operating parks within our region He said the new park will significantly expand the quality of protected natural spaces in Langley for generations to come it’s important that we keep up with the demand for green spaces to walk and simply pause and take a breath,” said John McEwen Chair of Metro Vancouver’s Regional Parks Committee and Vice Chair of the Metro Vancouver Board.  The park is not that far from the largest regional park in Langley the eventual goal is a linear "green necklace" surrounding the South Langley Regional Trail which starts at Campbell Valley Regional Park in the west and runs all the way to Aldergrove Regional Park in the east The park trail is to have several natural and recreational nodes along its route giving places where people can stop and connect with nature and allowing parts of the trail to be moved off-road which was formerly private land, will not immediately open to the public although the former Township site will be open immediately. A plan for the new land will be developed starting next year Metro Vancouver intends to continue adding to the park as land becomes available a pattern it has also followed with the growth of Campbell Valley Regional Park over the past decades (7News) — A shooting claimed the life of a teenager in Langley Park according to the Prince George's County Police

Fatboy Slim performing live (Source: Supplied) More Fatboy Slim Fatboy Slim’s performance at Langley Park on March 14 was a reminder of why he remains a giant in the electronic music world. At 62, Norman Cook—better known as Fatboy Slim—hasn’t lost any of the energy or flair that made him a key figure in the rave and dance scenes. His set was an effortless blend of nostalgia, new energy, and clever visuals, keeping the crowd engaged and dancing from start to finish. Langley Park, an open space just outside the city, became the backdrop for an afternoon and evening that felt more like a festival than a typical DJ performance. People began arriving early—by 4:30 pm—when DJs like Jennifer Loveless, CC: Disco, and DJ Seinfeld got the crowd warmed up with sets that set the tone for what was to come. By the time Fatboy Slim took to the decks just ahead of his scheduled 7:25 pm start time, the atmosphere was already electrically charged with excitement. Fatboy Slim kicked off his performance with the opening theme to Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory—a surprisingly whimsical choice, but one that immediately sucked the audience in. Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter One of the things that stood out most was how seamlessly Fatboy Slim connected with his audience. The crowd at Langley Park wasn’t just a collection of the typical festivalgoers; it was a broad mix of people from all ages. There was a sense of energy that didn’t seem to discriminate by age, and that’s a testament to Fatboy Slim’s ability to transcend generations. I noticed a woman in front of me, her high heels having given out mid-set, yet she kept dancing, undeterred. It felt like a perfect reflection of what Fatboy Slim’s music represents—something that brings people together, no matter the circumstances. As the night went on, the crowd became more immersed in the experience, with many of Fatboy Slim’s biggest hits making an appearance: Right Here, Right Now, The Rockafeller Skank, Eat Sleep Rave Repeat, and Praise You. Each track hit its mark, with the crowd responding enthusiastically to the classics that defined his career. The atmosphere was one of pure escapism, where people could just let go and lose themselves in the music. There was a sense of freedom in the air, as if everyone had temporarily left the world outside the venue behind. But it wasn’t just about the music. Fatboy Slim’s performance also showcased how in tune he is with the times. The incorporation of both classic tracks and more recent selections showed that, while he’s very much part of dance music history, he’s not stuck in the past. His ability to blend new and old was matched by his visual elements, which had a sense of cheekiness and wit. At one point, he flashed a photo of Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke on the screens, bowing theatrically before continuing the show. It was a playful moment that showed how relaxed Fatboy Slim is on stage, with just enough of a nod to his status as both a musical force and a cultural icon. Langley Park itself became a microcosm of rave culture that night—where people from all walks of life came together and enjoyed the same thing. Whether it was the seasoned ravers or the younger crowd, everyone seemed to be on the same wavelength, driven by the same collective rhythm. And while it might have been funny to see older generations really getting into the groove, there was something refreshing about it—Fatboy Slim’s music has a way of making people feel youthful, no matter how old they are. Overall, Fatboy Slim’s performance at Langley Park was a reminder of why he’s such a legend in dance music. His ability to connect with the crowd, mix old favourites with newer material, and bring an energetic, no-holds-barred performance was as captivating as it was memorable. As a 62-year-old who has been in the game for over 30 years, Fatboy Slim is a living testament to how great music can endure and evolve with time. He’s not just about keeping the past alive; he’s about making sure the future of electronic music remains just as exciting.
