The City of Langford hosted their Ideas Fair today March 15.

It was a chance for Langford residents to mingle with city staff, mayor and council, and subject matter experts while having direct input as to how the city is growing.

The off-and-on-again rain didn’t seem to dampen participant enthusiasm for the three-hour mid-day event.

At least 166 people attended, including bringing children along.
