The following is a one-paragraph excerpt from the April issue of FOCUS Magazine by Gordon O’Connor p.15 who is the forest campaigner with the Dogwood Initiative. It just applies so beautifully to Langford that one cannot help but think of Langford while reading it.
“Vancouver Island is one of the crown jewels of this continent. It is widely considered to be among the most liveable places in the world. If offers the luxury of having urban centres in close proximity to temperate rain forests, bountiful farms and incredible recreation areas. This pristine environment has the ability to provide clean water, fresh air, local food and a stable economy for generations to come and these are the priorities for which our local representatives [read councillors] should be advocating.”
