This blog shares my advocacy and thoughts on Langley and Metro Vancouver over the past two decades. I served as a Langley City Councillor from 2016 to 2022 and as Mayor from 2022 to 2026. This blog is now archived.

Frontier to Freeway
In doing some research on transportation in BC, I came across a great resource called, "Frontier to Freeway: A short illustrated history of the roads in British Columbia". It a free ebook from the Ministry of Transportation. As alluded to in the title, it is a illustrated history of road building in BC from First Nations Trails to the turn of the 21st century. Our highway system has certainly played a major role in shaping BC and it's well worth the read. My favourite section of course is on the Port Mann and Lower Mainland highways which starts on page 18.
