The Township of Langley has added new recycling/garbage bins directly in front of the historic CN Station. Please help us keep our site clean and use these bins while visiting. The Township has done a fine job creating a new sidewalk, signage, fencing and a garden plot at the Glover Road & Mavis Street intersection. Take a stroll on our station platform and visit the heritage garden.
New signage from the Township of Langley hints at the new museum complex, Salishan Centre, to open in 2023 (fingers crossed). You'll note our heritage station is identified as the Canadian Northern Railway which built and operated the line until 1918 when it was absorbed by the Canadian National Railway. More photos, videos and information about the station HERE.

Langley Heritage Society is adding its voice to those calling for preservation of the old Aldergrove Fire Hall. (Photo: Alder Grove Heritage Society) Mayor and Council Township of Langley It has come to our attention that the Aldergrove Fire Hall is at risk of being demolished by the Township of Langley. Langley Heritage Society adds its voice to those calling for preservation of this building. Constructed in 1959 by volunteer labour, the former fire hall has a unique connection with the community, and still offers much potential. Alder Grove Heritage Society is recommending the building become a “community heritage resource” to house their overflowing archival collection, and possibly a community meeting space.
