Throughout the COVID-19 state of emergency, the BC Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has provided statistics about COVID-19 cases by health authority. There are five health authorities in BC, this kept information about COVID-19 cases at a local level somewhat obfuscated.
On June 4th, sub-region-level COVID-19 case statistics were released. Langley City is in Fraser South (FS) in the following maps.
Between January 22 to May 31, Fraser South had 523 reported COVID-19 cases.

The darker the red and purple, the higher the case rate per 100,000 people. Fraser South has 10.1 to 15 cases per 100,000 people between May 18 to May 31. The rest of the region saw between 5.1 to 10 cases per 100,000 in the same period.
The next slide from the presentation shows where the current COVID-19 virus lineages are from. Closer to Vancouver, the majority lineage is from Washington State. The further into the Fraser Valley, the lineage shifts to European-like/Eastern Canada.
