Such partnerships are crucial as Langford represents a quarter of the region’s population. Last year, the City made the critical decision to acquire the Westhills YMCA/YWCA Aquatic Centre building and associated parking. This acquisition was necessary to prevent the risk of its closure when the 25-year lease, signed in 2013, expires. By taking ownership, the City anticipates saving $10.2 million over 17 years and $121 million over 42 years. Another important milestone from last year was the decision to acquire 6.6 acres of green space for Langford’s downtown by purchasing Woodlands Park, located at 848 Hockley Avenue, for $9.8 million. The previous owners, Ralph Stoerzer and Laura Kiehl, generously sold their property at approximately half of its appraised value of $18.125 million, thereby establishing an enduring legacy project for the community’s benefit. This year, our focus will be continued on fulfilling the objectives outlined in Council’s Strategic Plan to manage growth while enhancing livability and sustainability, creating a vibrant and thriving community for all. Together, we will continue to build a vibrant and resilient community. Message from the Mayor As we reflect on the past year, and look forward to everything planned for 2025, I am optimistic for our growing and vibrant community. While 2023 was a year focused on managing change and planning, 2024 was about putting Council’s Strategic Plan for the community into action. This past year marked the City’s second busiest year for development, with almost $600 million in construction costs, with 620 permits issued. The City witnessed an increase in multi-family projects, including rentals and condominiums. Last year, the City initiated a comprehensive review of the Official Community Plan, last updated 16-years ago. This update is designed to support a growing population and create a sustainable community where everyone can thrive. In addition to this work, the City has committed to long-term planning, essential for a city of Langford’s size, and vital in receiving grant funding from higher levels of government. Each plan will address specific community needs, ensuring we meet the demands of a growing population. The City has progressed significantly on a joint RCMP detachment expansion project with Colwood and View Royal to ensure the police force can continue to support the communities they serve, which also includes Metchosin, Highlands, Songhees First Nation, and Esquimalt First Nation. For details I encourage you to visit Langford.ca/RCMP. In 2024, Langford also took a major step forward in regional collaboration by playing a key role in establishing a CRD-wide transportation authority. This means residents can expect more coordinated transit planning across the region, making it easier to move between municipalities and improving Mayor Scott Goodmanson (left to right) Mary Wagner, Colby Harder, Mark Morley, Scott Goodmanson, Keith Yacucha, Kimberley Guiry and Lillian Szpak.

It showcases both the successes and challenges that have shaped Langford as a community during this time. This report adheres to the Community Charter and includes key elements such as permissive tax exemptions, audited financial statements, and key accomplishments of the past year. The Annual Report highlights the commitment of Council, municipal staff, and key community partners in advancing Langford’s vision of a thriving and inclusive city. Guided by Council’s Strategic Plan, the report outlines targeted initiatives designed to meet current challenges and opportunities to build a vibrant, equitable, and sustainable community for all residents. In 2024, the City embarked on the development of several master plans, grounded in meaningful public engagement to best meet the needs of a rapidly growing community. The Official Community Plan is in the final stages of review for the first time since 2008 to support a projected population of 100,000 residents. Other planning efforts include a Transportation and Active Transportation Master Plan, Parks and Trails Master Plan, Economic Development Strategy, Arts and Culture Strategy, Construction Impact Management Strategy, and a ‘Good Neighbour’ Policy. Highlights from the past year include the grand opening of the Jordie Lunn Bike Park Clubhouse, the purchase of the Westhills Langford Aquatic Centre building and associated parking, the acquisition of Woodlands Park, which will feature over six acres of open greenspace in downtown Langford. Last summer, the City secured significant funding to expand childcare in Langford, including a $6.2 million grant from the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund for 49 new childcare spaces. These spaces will be located in a new development on Glen Lake Road, in conjunction with a new arts centre, replacing the Centennial Arts Centre on Carlow Road. A further $7.1 million grant received this year will create 73 childcare spaces in a new development on the existing arts centre site, which will include 40 units of culturally appropriate housing for Indigenous peoples. This project is in partnership with M’akola Housing, the largest provider of Indigenous housing in British Columbia. Last summer, City Hall faced a flooding event that affected a significant portion of the building. Despite the challenges, City staff showed remarkable resilience by maintaining services throughout the incident. In conclusion, 2025 promises to be another strong year for Langford. On behalf of all staff, I look forward to working with Council and our community partners to build a thriving, inclusive, welcoming community.

To ensure the police force can continue to serve this growing population, the municipalities are exploring options to expand the West Shore RCMP detachment. The project is using an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model. This approach brings together architects, builders, engineers, the RCMP and municipal representatives in a collaborative process to ensure the best outcomes. The focus is on shared goals, transparent decision-making, and efficient use of funds. For more information visit: Langford.ca/RCMP Timeline: • Pre-Validation Phase (Complete): Initial steps included securing overflow detachment space, determining the project budget, and selecting project partners like architects and contractors. • Validation Phase (January–August 2025): This phase will refine the project scope, budget, and design through collaborative workshops and determine whether the project will proceed. • Detailed Design (2025–2026): Finalizing the building design with input from all partners. • Construction (2025–2028): Demolition of portions of the detachment, site preparation, and construction of an expanded detachment.

Already featuring towering trees, winding pathways, and beautiful botanical gardens, park transformation will begin in 2030, and will include additional trails and gardens, open green spaces, decorative fountains, landscaped ponds, picnic areas, and playgrounds. Inspired by the world’s greatest urban gardens, Woodlands Park will enrich Langford’s downtown core, provide an urban refuge, and create a barrier free legacy for generations to enjoy. Restoration of the Park will begin in 2025 with the removal of several mobile homes and remediation if required. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 1.

In conjunction with the West Shore RCMP, Bylaw staff also worked to manage matters associated with those experiencing homelessness, mental health and addictions. In 2024, Officers noted a decrease in the number of unhoused individuals sheltering in Langford parks and public spaces over the previous year. Reliable enforcement of the sheltering components of the Parks Regulation Bylaw has contributed to the decrease. Bylaw Officers continue to engage with unhoused individuals and dedicate time to provide wellness checks and assistance. Bylaw Officers make referrals to, and work with, provincial ministries to find alternative accommodation wherever possible. It is important to note that housing needs remains a regional and provincial issue, which is not unique to Langford. Bylaw Enforcement Community Safety and Municipal Enforcement The Community Safety and Municipal Enforcement (Bylaw Enforcement) Department acts to ensure community standards are upheld by enforcing Council’s regulatory bylaws and providing public education concerning those regulatory bylaws. Community Safety Officers monitor community public spaces by foot, bicycle, and vehicle patrols while actively engaging with members of the public, answering questions and providing important community information. The department works closely with many agencies to provide the highest service levels to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all. 589 NUMBER OF PARKING TICKETS ISSUED 1,703 NUMBER OF PARKING WARNINGS ISSUED 1,806 NUMBER OF ENFORCEMENT FILES OPENED 365 DAILY UNHOUSED EARLY MORNING WELLNESS CHECKS COMPLETED 480 NUMBER OF COMMUNITY SAFETY PATROLS CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 16 Page 28 of 341 ### Page 29 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 29 Highlights of 2024 Legal Matters Often, projects the Bylaw team leads are directly tied to enforcement action through Provincial, Small Claims (unpaid ticket recovery) or the Supreme Court. As an annual average, Bylaw Officers achieve a success rate of approximately 95% in reaching voluntary compliance with respect to enforcement actions, but on occasion there becomes a need to employ the court system to reach a resolution. These files involve in-depth evidence gathering, robust file documentation, and consultation with legal counsel, City Administration, and Council. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 5. GOOD GOVERNANCE Education and Enforcement The department continues to realize the benefits delivered by the Province’s Local Government Bylaw Notice Enforcement Act which provides Bylaw Officers with an administrative form of ticketing rather than the reliance on the Municipal Ticketing System which is Provincially court based. Tickets issued under the Bylaw Notice Authorization Bylaw provide financial incentive (reduction) opportunities to the public for early resolution, further encouraging compliance. In some cases, Bylaw Officers will continue to appear before Judicial Justices of the Peace in Provincial Court to prosecute the disputes of Langford’s municipal tickets and for the collection of unpaid fines. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 5. GOOD GOVERNANCE Traffic and Parking As is the case with most cities, public street parking continues to present community concerns that require the regular attention of Bylaw Enforcement Officers. This department continues diligently responding to resident complaints over parking violations. As reported in previous years, the Bylaw Department recognizes the value of Langford’s cycling network to the community, and with that, the team continues intervention and enforcement efforts to ensure these lanes remain free of parked vehicles and continue to function as an accessible and safe part of City transportation infrastructure. Completion of a 2025 Parking Review Study of the downtown core will assist staff with further strategic planning of enforcement practices and responses. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 5.

These outdoor amenities continue to see greater pedestrian volumes as many people use City trails for recreational activities. Many park and trail users have thanked members of the Bylaw team for being present with watchful eyes, offering educational tips, and enforcement intervention where needed. In some cases, members of the public have reported instances of people sheltering in locations which were inappropriate, unsafe, or viewed as unacceptable. In such situations, Officers have attended sites to meet with those found to be sheltering and have helped them find alternate and safer accommodation. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 6.

The delivery of this mitigation will rely in part on the development of regulatory bylaws designed to control construction related nuisances. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 1.

Through 2025, the Bylaw Department will ensure public safety by upholding community standards and bylaws. Bylaw Officers will educate and intervene as needed, assisting the public in resolving disputes, ensuring compliance with Traffic, Building, and Fire Regulation Bylaws, enforcing Noise Regulations and other bylaws, and helping the unhoused find appropriate services. With a tailored software system and the provincially backed Bylaw Offence Notice system, the department has improved parking management efficiency. Ongoing enforcement through 2025 will require less officer time compared to the previous Municipal Ticket Information System. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 5.

Responsibilities include conducting on-site inspections of new construction, commercial tenant improvements, residential renovations, reviewing building permit submissions, and business license applications for compliance with the Building Bylaw’s safety requirements. The City regulates construction for health, safety, and the protection of persons and property. A building permit is required prior to the commencement of any construction or renovation project within the City. The Building Bylaw calls for inspections throughout the building process to ensure substantial compliance with the BC Building Code, and construction needs to comply with zoning provisions. Overview Through inspections, the Building Services Department continues to assist in ensuring that new building projects align with the BC Building Code, the BC Plumbing Code, City Bylaws, and the Official Community Plan. In March 2024, the Province adopted the 2024 edition of the BC Building Code and the BC Plumbing Code, including new cooling requirements and radon mitigation measures. Building Services Department staff participated in training related to these changes and began providing guidance to the development community. In 2024, the department saw an increase in multi-family projects, including rentals and condos.

The Langford economy remains strong and continues to show incredible resilience during uncertain economic times and on-going pressures around inflation. As an additional support for businesses, the City manages a job bank (Langford.ca/Jobs), a free tool for all Langford-based businesses. Underscoring the accomplishments of this work, and building on many recent awards, the city was ranked the #3 city in British Columbia for Economic Resiliency by BC Business Magazine based on 2023 statistics up from #8 in 2022. The ranking was calculated by reviewing municipalities in B.C. with at least 10,000 residents and assessed using criteria such as population growth, job creation, and real estate activity. The ranking also evaluated data on economic diversity, household financial vulnerability, and residents’ sense of belonging before assigning a score to each city. One of the City’s key economic development initiatives is advancing the film industry by attracting a purpose-built film studio, which would play a crucial role in supporting the local economy. This effort aims to strengthen Langford’s position as an economic hub, enhance destination development strategies, and benefit the local tourism industry by increasing hotel occupancy, restaurant patronage, and retail sales. Additionally, a studio would create well-paid jobs, and sector-specific educational opportunities for local youth seeking to explore a career in the film industry without having to leave Langford. The city has a reputation as being film friendly and continues to attract filming to the community including TV series such as Maid, movie of the week (QB and Me, filmed at Starlight Stadium), and commercials. This work is done through the Economic Development Department with staff working closely with the Film Commission, location scouts, and producers. Overview — Communications The department continues to support the work of all City departments by assisting with disseminating information to residents, businesses, and City partners. This work is accomplished through a series of communications tools, including media releases, the City website, social media, digital signs, and the creation and distribution of various communications materials. Expanding opportunities for public engagement and improving access to City information is a Council objective as part of Council’s Strategic Plan under the strategic priority of good governance. "We greatly enjoyed working with the City of Langford and Starlight Stadium during our filming. Langford offers so many exciting locations and filming opportunities and Starlight Stadium was no exception! We had a great experience filming there and the location added huge production value to our show.

CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 35 Page 47 of 341 ### Page 48 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 48 Langford Fire Rescue & Emergency Program Langford Fire Rescue was established in 1947 to provide fire and rescue services for the City. It is a composite department comprised of career and paid-on-call members operating from three fire stations. The department’s operations include fire suppression, fire prevention, first response, auto extrication, water rescue, rope rescue, and high-angle technical rescue. The department also operates the Langford Emergency Program, which plans and trains for emergency mitigation, prevention, response, and recovery. The department also manages the Langford FireSmart program to reduce the risk of urban interface fires in the community. Overview Call volumes continue to trend upward from the previous year. Overall calls increased 8% in 2024, with alarm bells (both commercial and residential), general assist calls, and structure fires contributing to the increases from the previous year. It is significant to note that even with an increase in structure fires in 2024, the dollar losses were down 87%, which can be attributed to the integrated response matrix between the West Shore Fire Departments and sending more resources to the initial report of a fire. CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 36 Page 48 of 341 ### Page 49 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 49 Highlights of 2024 Increase Staffing at Station 2 As the City continues to grow, improving the response times, specifically in the south end of Langford, is necessary. In 2023, Council approved the first year of a three- year implementation plan to hire additional firefighters with the purpose of staffing Station 2. In 2024, we were able to staff the station 50% of the time with the hiring of nine firefighters which had an immediate improvement to response time and capacity at incidents.

Additionally, a wildfire exercise was conducted to ensure key staff were ready to manage the City’s response to a local wildfire. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 2. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP 2e: Develop strategies for disaster mitigation due to climate change and build resiliency as a community. Fire Department Master Plan The Fire Department completed a Master Plan in 2023 to provide a comprehensive review of the department, and to efficiently plan for the growth needed over the next 7-10 years to continue serving the community’s needs. The report made 71 recommendations, and in 2024, the department continued to implement these recommendations. The Fire Master Plan was adopted into the City Strategic Plan to ensure it aligns with Council’s priorities. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 6. QUALITY OF LIFE 6h: Implement the Recently Developed Fire Master Plan Renew the FireSmart Coordinator Grant Langford Fire Rescue was successful in extending the grant from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) to fund a FireSmart Coordinator position until May 2026. This position ensures FireSmart activities are supported, developed, and implemented as per Provincial guidelines to reduce the impact of wildland-urban interface fires and increase community resilience. The FireSmart Coordinator actively coordinated public education events, community clean-up days, home assessments, and other activities throughout the year. The Langford FireSmart Program has received recognition from FireSmart BC for innovation and leadership for developing strategies to mitigate interface fires in our area. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 2. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP 2E: Develop an Overarching Disaster Mitigation Strategy Response Matrix Integration with Other West Shore Fire Departments The cooperation and collaboration between Langford, Colwood, and View Royal Fire Departments and the automatic aid response for confirmed fires has become an example of the benefits of integrating resources to enhance fire response operations in the region. In 2024, staff further integrated the response matrix to a ‘closest truck’ model for most incident types, regardless of jurisdiction, to provide a faster response time and better service to the communities the departments serve. In addition, Esquimalt Fire Rescue joined the response matrix for reported structures which further integrates the region’s fire services during high-risk incidents. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 6.

This will reduce response times to the south end of the city, increase the Fire Department’s capacity to manage simultaneous calls, and provide safer staffing levels. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 6. QUALITY OF LIFE 6i: Provide 24/7 Staffing to Fire Hall 2 Extend the FireSmart Coordinator Position The current funding for the FireSmart Coordinator position ends in May 2026. The position has proved beneficial to the city by working with City staff, homeowners, and businesses to mitigate the wildland-urban interface risk for Langford. It is anticipated that with climate change and longer, drier summer seasons, the risk to the city will continue to grow, and there is a need to continue with this position. To prevent staff turnover and to provide consistency in the position, it is recommended that the position is made permanent rather than contractual while continuing to use the UBCM Grant as the source of funding for the position.

Some of the most notable amenities include the Jordie Lunn Bike Park, the Gravity Zone and Nature Trails, Starlight Stadium, City Centre Park, Glen Lake Park, The Langford Station Arts and Cultural District, and Veterans Memorial Park. This portion of the budget also includes the amounts the City contributes to West Shore Parks and Recreation Services, and to the Greater Victoria Public Library. Overview The Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Department commenced and completed a number of significant projects in 2024. Staff initiated the Parks and Trails Master Plan process and are working with the consultant targeting a completion date of Q4 2025. In alignment with Strategic Plan priority two, climate change and environmental stewardship, the City worked with the CRD to coordinate the installation of new EV charging infrastructure at the Jordie Lunn Clubhouse and The Langford Station Arts and Cultural District. Another partnership established in 2024 was the Walmart off-leash area at Langford Parkway and Phipps Road. The City entered into a five-year lease with Walmart Canada to provide additional off-leash opportunities for residents in the City Centre. Other notable projects in 2024 include the addition of a new trail in the Langford Gravity Zone and Nature Trails, constructed by volunteers and aptly named “Out of Hand”, representing the generosity of local trail builders and the exhilarating features included. Formally dedicated as a Park in 2024, Desmond Pond Park received renovations to establish a walking loop and invasive species mitigation. Seasonal shade sails were added to the Langford Station Arts and Cultural District. The Cy Jenkins boardwalk on Glen Lake and the Langford Lake boat launch were both replaced with new aluminum structures, the latter being made with accessible features.

This was initiated to ensure that dedicated resources could be allocated to advancing the goals and objectives identified in the Strategic Plan, while ensuring that day-to-day operations and the review of land-use applications retained their historic efficiencies. Development Services The Development Services Department is responsible for providing professional and technical advice on a wide range of topics, including land use and development applications. Department staff provide professional and technical advice on current and future land uses. Daily planning operations encompass interactions with land development processes such as zoning, subdivisions, and building. Additionally, these operations involve reviewing past and current policies to address subdivision design and development. The processing of subdivision and current planning development applications are key initiatives for 2025. 20 REZONING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED 76 DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATIONS RECEIVED 381 LOTS CREATED BY SUBDIVISION 13 DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT APPLICATIONS RECEIVED CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 43 Page 55 of 341 ### Page 56 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 56 Highlights of 2024 Official Community Plan Refresh Over 2024, two phases of work and public engagement were completed. Phase 1 included developing content around the Big Ideas that would have a significant impact on the City’s ability to strategically meet the needs of 100,000 residents while addressing the challenges of affordability, housing, climate change, social equity, rising infrastructure costs, transportation and mobility. Phase 1 engagement took these Big Ideas and best practices out to the community to gain feedback on the community’s values, priorities, and thoughts in these key topic areas. Phase 2 included the development of an Ideas Paper, which outlines a series of more detailed policy ideas, referred to as initially preferred options, grounded in best practices for successful city-building and informed by feedback from the community. They represent an approach to guide key decisions involving where and how the city will grow, which in turn will determine how successful Langford will be in creating opportunities to address challenges and meet the needs of the community. These initially preferred options were reviewed with the public during phase 2 engagement to assess public support or concerns in order to allow for adjustments before the draft OCP was prepared as part of the phase 3 work.

The department ensures that the Official Community Plan integrates community goals with city-building best practices, and is reflected in the other policies, plans, and bylaws that shape how the community grows and develops. Department staff provide professional and technical advice on evolving Provincial legislation, regional planning efforts, and measures to address a wide range of issues relating to sustainable development, climate, the environment, and the quality of life of residents. 10 HOMES SOLD IN THE ATTAINABLE HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM 3 COMPONENTS OF PROVINCIAL HOUSING LEGISLATION WERE IMPLEMENTED 17 BELOW-MARKET RENTAL HOMES WERE SECURED IN HOUSING AGREEMENTS 1ST URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE CITY WAS ADOPTED CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 44 Page 56 of 341 ### Page 57 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 57 Urban Forest Management Plan Langford’s first Urban Forest Management Plan was adopted in 2024. This Plan, informed by public feedback over two phases and urban forestry best practices, details the current extent and condition of Langford’s urban forest and establishes a strategic framework to meet the vision, target, and goals for Langford’s urban forest for the next 25 years. The Plan establishes a canopy cover target of 40-45% over the 25-year timeframe as well as a series of objectives, strategies and actions to meet the aspirations of the Plan to: balance urban growth and enhancing the urban forest, ensure residents have equitable access to the benefits of the urban forest, and maintain a healthy urban forest that is resilient to the impacts of climate change. The Plan includes seven “quick start actions” that will have a significant impact on the success of the Plan. Of these, Council implemented one (to adopt a permanent tree protection bylaw that balances the protection of tree resources and the regulation of private property) and authorized a second (to hire a permanent full- time City Arborist) at the end of 2024. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1g: Develop an Urban Forest Management Plan Zoning Bylaw Parking Requirements In 2024, Council expanded the scope of this project from being a review of the off-street parking requirements for just the City Centre to include an overall review of the vehicle parking requirements and bicycle parking requirements of the Zoning Bylaw, and to explore options for including additional transportation demand management measures. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1l: Review the Zoning Bylaw Parking Requirements in the City Centre Update the Housing Needs Report The Provincial government introduced the first legislative requirements for Housing Needs Reports in 2019 to strengthen the ability of local governments to understand and anticipate local housing needs by collecting data, analyzing trends and completing reports that describe the number of housing units required to meet the current and anticipated need. As part of this, projected population growth was considered as well as quantitative and qualitative information about demographics, household incomes, housing stock, and other factors. The City’s first Housing Needs Report was adopted in 2020. Amendments to the Local Government Act were introduced in 2023 changing the timing and content requirements for Housing Needs Reports. These amendments required municipalities to prepare an Interim Housing Needs Report by January 1, 2025,consisting of three items: the number of housing units required to meeting the current and anticipated need for the next 5- and 20-year periods using the HNR Method; a statement about the need for housing in proximity to alternate and active transportation infrastructure; and a description of actions taken since receiving the most recent Housing Needs Report. The HNR Method involves analyzing and calculating six components of housing need based on publicly available data, that are then added together to provide the total number of housing units needed in a municipality. The City’s Interim Housing Needs Report, prepared according to these specifications, was received by Council in October 2024, and identifies that 5,081 and 16,942 housing units will be needed over the next 5- and 20-year periods, respectively.

Following Council endorsement of adding a rental stream to the Attainable Housing Program in 2023, three partner projects providing a total of 17 below-market rental homes for Langford residents were secured in 2024. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1m: Pursue Programs and Partnerships for Affordable Housing Small-Scale Multi-unit Housing and Transit-Oriented Areas The Provincial government made amendments to the Local Government Act that require local governments to amend their zoning bylaws to allow secondary suites and/or detached accessory dwelling units in all single-family homes, to allow a minimum of 3-6 residential dwelling units on properties meeting certain criteria, and to establish transit-supportive densities adjacent to specified transit stations. These requirements are generally called the Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing regulations and the Transit Oriented Areas regulations, respectively. The Bylaws implementing these requirements were adopted in June 2024, prior to the deadline established by the Province. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT 1.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2024, and its consolidated results of operations, its consolidated remeasurement of gains and losses, its consolidated changes in net financial assets (debt) and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our auditor’s report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 57 Page 69 of 341 ### Page 70 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 70 Page 2 Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity's financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. CITY OF LANGFORD | 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 58 Page 70 of 341 ### Page 71 Source pages: 13–97 ## Page 71 Page 3 • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
