Langford Mayor Stew Young posted a video message on the City of Langford website COVID-19 page, for Easter Weekend. Here’s the text of it:

“I want to thank everyone for the work they’ve been doing for the last month and half. Listening to messages, from the province, the federal government, and of course our community here in the city of Langford.

I also want to wish everybody a Happy Easter. I know this is a difficult time. It’s tough to say the word happy in a lot of cases. But let’s be grateful for all the hard work that our frontline workers are doing, what our community is doing, and the residents of Langford, all the support they’re giving to everybody who needs to be helped.

I want to make sure you have a great weekend. Go outside, enjoy the weather. This is a beautiful weekend that we have for weather.

If you’re in an apartment, go for a walk. Just social distance. Make sure that you keep your distance from everybody.

Please, stay safe! And if you can, wear a mask. Thank you.”
