What is RibFest?

“It’s going to be a party. It’s going to be the whole weekend. It’s going to be a RibFest.”

The Rotary Clubs of Langley along with Otter Co-op and Angry Otter Liquor are excited to bring you Ribfest 2023. We are expecting more than 40,000 people at this huge family event this year and hope you will join the fun.

Langley SNOW ANGELS program is here!

Langley Volunteer Bureau is proud to announce that after piloting the Snow Angels program last winter, we are now ready to launch a new website!

What is the Snow Angels program?

In an effort to support seniors in the community during the winter months, we are providing seniors, and people with mobility issues, an opportunity to have the sidewalks in front of their homes cleared of snow.

This program is offered in partnership with the City of Langley, Township of Langley, and our local Langley Seniors Resource Centre. If you are a senior or person with mobility issues, who lives in Langley and own your own home, you can sign up here to request a Snow Angel. We will match you with a volunteer in your neighbourhood, and they will try their best to keep your sideways clear this winter.

Residents who meet the criteria can also register starting on Monday October 16th. A link will be posted once we are live!

We are looking for snow angels to clear the sidewalks. We will be opening up Snow Angel registration on October 16th, 2023 for volunteers at bettercommunity.ca.

Learn about our Cards for Seniors program!

Over 3,000 Christmas cards will be delivered in the next couple weeks to seniors across Langley! We will be picking up from 30 schools, Christmas cards we provided to Kindergarten through University students, and be delivering to over 30 seniors residences, senior services such as Langley Meals on Wheels, Langley Seniors Resource Society, and the Aldergrove Legion. We will also be delivering these heartfelt cards to the Langley Hospice Society and the Langley Memorial hospital!

If you would like to help with this program please register to volunteer with us 🙂
