“I expect much more of the same,”
Mahovlich said. “Our growth will continue
to speed along. We've gone through some
tough times in the last few years – although
most people have – and we've continued to
plug along. We've been very fortunate there
and I think we can attribute it to our
progressive council and a supportive
community.”
Bowden agreed, endorsing the idea that
Langford is a unique model to which others
strive.
“Our communi t y i s a ver y proud
community,” he said. “They've come from
humble beginnings and have grown into
this beautiful place that's vibrant and
progressive, and they take very great pride in
that. They're very unified in their approach
and very protective of each other. It's a very
unique atmosphere to work in, to see a
community sounited.
“It's not only the council, it's the whole
32,000 residents that seems united with a
general focus on moving forward, rather
than staying stagnant.”
