During last fall’s extreme flooding that devastated parts of the Fraser Valley and Southern Interior, the historic Michaud House in Langley City also suffered damage. Flood waters from the nearby Nicomekl River entered the basement, destroying the furnace and water heater. Langley Heritage Society undertook repairs and applied to the City of Langley Community Grant Program for assistance. We’re excited to learn that Langley City Council has awarded a Community Grant of $6,200 to help cover replacement costs. Thank you! See a full list of Grant recipients and details on how organizations can apply to the City HERE. More than $116,000 was awarded to this year’s applicants.
Michaud House was built in 1888 by Joseph and Georgiana Michaud, the first French Canadian family to live and farm in Langley. Learn more about the history of the house and watch our video HERE.
