To celebrate the start of Langford’s micromobility program, I took one of the new Evolve e-bikes on an adventure. This is Langford to Victoria and back by way of the E&N and the Galloping Goose. This 30km trip is almost all trail & protected bike lane.
It’s beautiful, it’s safe & it feels amazing.

“An isolated bike lane is a toy; a useful network of bike and roll lanes is core infrastructure.”
I love this commentary on how empowering it is to have choices in your community. It’s also invigorating to know many communities in the region are contributing to a useful network of transportation ♥️

Comment: How Victoria’s bike and roll network changed my life
Even if you, or your friends, don’t use the safe bike and roll network, there are thousands and thousands of your neighbours that do.

A little Langford mention at the 9min mark!
We are working on our first Active Transportation Plan that has just gone through its second phase of engagement. Protected bike lanes have become commonplace in the region, including in the Westshore with initial improvements in both Colwood & Langford.

Local governments are the closest level of government to communities and we have deep understanding of the impact of policies and investment. UBCM resolutions offer an opportunity for a low-cost and highly effective province-wide gaps analysis. It’s a shame there isn’t more space for debate.
The UBCM resolutions debates are always interesting and frustrating.
There are 122 separate resolutions brought forward.
But you have 800 politicians in a room, there’s a lot of talking, only 20% of the week is reserved for resolutions.
So less than half get debated.

Our resolution for Free Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy as part of Postpartum Care was supported at UBCM this week! There was even an applause ♥️
Unfortunately a new change with UBCM policy was also supported and resolutions like this will no longer be considered for debate due to local government scope.

This is a largely invisible problem because of stigma and shame and yet so many are impacted. Equitable access to public floor physiotherapy breaks down an important barrier to care and addresses the health and well being of postpartum people.

Elected officials expect public scrutiny as a regular part of the job, but personal attacks, especially on social media, have increased noticeably in recent years. Some local electeds are developing a peer support network focused to help. #UBCM25 youtu.be/TXqfFp3cbqY
Mental health network for local elected officials
Councillor Brian Frenkel, District of Vanderhoof, is leading the creation of a network for local government officials to take care of each other in a job that's increasingly polarized.

The 2025 UBCM Convention starts next week! After getting support from our local area association last April, Councillor Szpak and I will be bringing this forward for consideration and debate with our provincial colleagues.

There is another week left to complete 2 surveys and give feedback on Langford’s Economic Development Strategy and the Arts and Culture Strategy. There is interesting overlay with these initiatives and it’s great to have this engagement together. Visit letschatlangford.ca for more details.

This is a great discussion on how powerful it can be to support and lift alternative modes of transportation. Addressing barriers (physical and social), providing options (through share programs) and investing in safe and protected infrastructure has supported an evolution of cycling in London.

We have had some misinformation floating around about Langford’s priorities on safe routes to school and our readiness for the opening of SĆIȺNEW̱ SṮEȽIṮḴEȽ Elementary. Not only are the sidewalks ready to go, the walking trip is a huge improvement from last year.

This was a fantastic and fun way to end the summer and I believe it was the first mass ride in Langford. People of all ages were bopping, grooving and feeling the beat from the awesome DJs, all while riding through the streets of Langford.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day and my heart goes out to all those feeling loss. While my personal experience is from that of a tradesperson, I know this touches many people. I hope there is a day soon where overdose no longer permeates our communities.
