Local Hero

  Hanging on the walls of the new Langley Airport are profiles of noteworthy local aviators. As Remembrance Day approaches, we salute Norman Severide, who served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. He later attended UBC law school and had a long career as a lawyer in Langley (attaining Queens Council), assisted non-profit organizations, and served as a Langley City alderman. Norman and his wife Iris raised two sons; in 2019, he passed at the age of 95. Thank you, sir. Langley Heritage Society will place wreaths on Remembrance Day at Langley City, Murrayville, Aldergrove and Fort Langley.
