Langley City received 10% of the net gaming incoming from Cascades Casino, the third largest casino by net gaming incoming in the province. Every year, Langley City Council allocates a portion of this incoming to community grants. For 2023-24, Langley City set aside $168,000 for these grants. The City typically has a fall and spring grant intake window, with the fall being the main window. Earlier this year, Council awarded $153,938 in grants.
Last week, Council awarded the following organizations and groups grants from our spring intake.
| Organization/Group | Amount |
|---|---|
| Brydon Neighbourhood Organizing Committee | $500.00 |
| Langley City Crime Prevention Committee - Know Your Neighbour Campaign Events | $500.00 |
| Langley Amateur Radio Association | $333.00 |
| Langley Flippers Swim Club | $2,500.00 |
| Langley Ukulele Association | $2,500.00 |
| Lower Fraser Valley Aboriginal Society | $1,000.00 |
| Raphael House | $2,000.00 |
| Stɑl̓əw̓ Arts and Cultural Society Pow Wow Sponsor | $4,725.00 |
I wanted to highlight the "Brydon Neighbourhood Organizing Committee" and "Langley City Crime Prevention Committee - Know Your Neighbour Campaign Events" grants. Langley City has a long-standing policy of supporting family-friendly neighbourhood block parties, which help people get to know each other, supporting to create strong and safe neighbourhoods. We don't get many of these types of grant applications, so I am thrilled to see two this grant cycle.
