As I've posted about in the past, Langley City is starting a Citizens' Assembly on Community Safety to create a Made-in-Langley-City action plan to improve safety and well-being.
A Citizens' Assembly is a form of direct democracy where regular folks create City policy. The City is fully supporting assembly members with data, people with knowledge about community safety best practices, and people to help facilitate the assembly process.
If you are over the age of 16 and either live in or own a business in Langley City, you can apply to become a member.
The City will randomly select 29 people from those who apply to join the assembly. The selected folks will reflect the current makeup of our community. People will receive a living wage when attending the assembly meeting, and the City will provide support to help them participate in the assembly.
I genuinely believe the only way to create a safer community where people's well-being is improved is when we all come together. We live in a divisive time, so I'm proud that we are coming together to solve real challenges in Langley City.
The deadline to apply is Friday, February 7th. Last week, Langley City mailed out an application postcard to every household in our community. You can also directly apply at https://langleycity.ca/CitizensAssembly
Don't delay, apply today!
