Message from the Mayor
together Royal Roads University, the University
of Victoria, Camosun College, the Justice
Institute of British Columbia, and School District
62, the campus expands access to education,
bringing residents seeking higher education
closer to home.
Planning for the future also advanced with the
adoption of a refreshed Official Community Plan
along with several master plans that will move
into implementation in 2026. As part of the
public engagement process, the City hosted two
Ideas Fairs to collect community feedback to
help shape their creation.
Meaningful progress was also made on key
regional priorities. Work with Colwood, View
Royal, and the Capital Regional District to
advance plans to expand the West Shore RCMP
detachment to support a growing population.
In addition, a historic memorandum with First
Nations renewed momentum on the Island
Corridor, advancing conversations on rail
integration, new stops, and shared economic and
reconciliation benefits.
Langford’s growth outlined in this report reflects
intentional planning, community collaboration,
and the input of residents who care about
the community they live in. Looking ahead,
Council will continue to focus on initiatives that
reflect Langford’s evolving needs and enhance
community wellbeing. Thank you to everyone
who contributed their time and ideas in 2025,
together, we are shaping a Langford we can all
be proud of for years to come.
Looking back at 2025, I am proud of what we
have accomplished together as a community,
planning for our future and ensuring that
Langford remains a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive
community for generations to come. Council
focused on continuing to improve residents’
quality of life, ensuring that the city remains one
of the best places to call home.
Over the past year, Langford has taken a
significant step forward to improve healthcare
access with the opening of the Goldstream
Medical Clinic, made possible through Council’s
bold leadership and a strategic partnership with
the South Island Primary Care Society. The City
supported the project by providing commercial
space, as well as funding tenant improvements
and equipment. The clinic accommodates 10
doctors and will serve approximately 12,500
residents by the end of 2026, making a
meaningful contribution to addressing Langford’s
primary care shortage.
Over the past year, the City secured provincial
grant funding for more than 120 future licensed
childcare spaces, including $7.1 million through
the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund for 73 planned
spaces, building on a previously approved $6.2
million grant for 49 additional spaces.
Access to greenspace grew as Council secured
over 6-acres of land known as Woodlands Mobile
Home Park in the heart of downtown Langford.
Woodlands will be transformed to a passive
urban green space already home to towering
trees, winding pathways, and botanical gardens.
Recreation options were further enhanced
through Langford’s first community garden at
the newly expanded Porcher Park, accessible
upgrades to Florence Lake Pier, and the
remodelled Glen Lake Spray Park.
Langford’s community pride was on full display
in May as we welcomed the BC Lions to Langford
for a pre season game at Starlight Stadium,
bringing professional football closer to home.
In September 2025, the John Horgan Campus
opened as a first of its kind post secondary
collaboration in the heart of Langford. Bringing
MAYOR
Scott Goodmanson
The City of Langford honours the life and
service of Councillor Lillian Szpak, whose
passing on May 2, 2026, marked a profound
loss for our community.
First elected in 2002, Councillor Szpak dedicated
more than two decades to public service,
community advocacy, and the thoughtful growth
of the city she was proud to call home. A Langford
resident since 1993, she brought to Council a
deep belief that local government should listen
carefully, respect community voices, and make
decisions with future generations in mind.
Her service reflected the breadth of issues that
matter to residents: responsible growth, public
input, environmental stewardship, housing
affordability, community safety, parks,
recreation, regional collaboration, and the
importance of representation in civic
leadership. In her own words during the
2022 election, Councillor Szpak described
her priority as bringing the community’s
voice to the table, listening deeply, and
helping ensure Council Chambers remained
a respectful place where residents could
be heard.
Lillian’s legacy will live on throughout Langford;
she played a meaningful role in shaping the
thriving community we see today.
In Memoriam: Councillor Lillian Szpak

Message from the
Chief Administrative Officer
Langford’s 2025 Annual Report highlights the
municipality’s achievements over the past year
and strategic objectives for 2026. This Report
fully complies with the Community Charter and
includes the City’s permissive tax exemptions,
audited financial statements, and Development
Cost Charges.
Guided by Council’s 2023-2027 Strategic Plan,
the Annual Report reflects clear planning,
continued corporate efficiencies, and a shared
commitment to progress. In 2025, these
guiding principles shaped our work as Langford
continued to grow. Through the dedication of
Langford Council, staff, and strong community
partnerships, long term priorities were translated
into real, visible improvements, ensuring
infrastructure, services, and amenities kept pace
with community needs. The projects undertaken
by the City are focused on balancing taxpayer
needs while prioritizing fiscal responsibility,
seeking to address shared challenges that all
communities are currently experiencing around
climate change, housing, affordability, and
public health.
Over the past year, significant advancements
have been made in preparation for Langford’s
future growth. Langford’s refreshed Official
Community Plan (OCP), updated for the
first time since 2008, was formally adopted,
setting a roadmap for higher-density
housing near transit corridors, amenities,
and services while minimizing urban sprawl.
The refreshed OCP provides an intentional
roadmap for development and opens doors
to grant opportunities that help offset costs
for community initiatives. Additional plans
developed in 2025 include Langford’s Wildfire
Resiliency Plan to increase the community’s
preparedness and resilience to wildfires, the
Construction Impact Management Strategy
to proactively manage construction impacts,
Darren Kiedyk, Chief
Administrative Officer
and the Parks Master Plan, which guides the
City’s decisions regarding the acquisition,
development, enhancement, programming, and
management of the parks and trails system.
In 2025, major investments in downtown
Langford further demonstrated the City’s ability
to support complex projects through efficient
approvals and multi‑partner coordination.
The opening of the John Horgan Campus
brought post‑secondary education to the city’s
downtown core, strengthening Langford’s role
as an employment, education, and innovation
hub while contributing to the vibrancy of the
community.
Economic development momentum continued
with the groundbreaking of a new TownePlace
Suites by Marriott hotel in downtown Langford.
The project supports the growing visitor
economy and reflects ongoing confidence of
private investment in Langford’s long‑term
growth. This confidence was recognized when
BC Business Magazine ranked Langford #2 in
the province for economic resilience, reflecting
performance across population growth, housing
starts, economic diversity, employment trends,
rental vacancy rate, and residents’ sense of
belonging.
In 2025, Council continued to prioritize public
safety. Working with Colwood and View Royal,
the City advanced the West Shore RCMP
detachment expansion through a collaborative
delivery model focused on due diligence, cost
control, and shared accountability. Langford
Firehall #2 also transitioned to 24/7 staffing,
significantly improving emergency response
times and community safety.
In early 2025, the City acquired Woodlands Park,
which will become an urban oasis with over six
acres of downtown green space. Once complete,
the park will provide a centrally located
gathering space featuring tranquil winding
pathways, botanical flowerbeds and gardens,
decorative fountains, landscaped ponds, picnic
areas, and playgrounds.
Work towards the development of a
Reconciliation Action Plan began with the
Indigenous Perspectives Society in 2025. As
guided by Council’s Strategic Plan, Council
and staff engaged the Society to help shape
a path forward for meaningful actions for
reconciliation. The Plan focuses on listening,
relationship-building, advocacy, and advancing
equity for local First Nations and Urban
Indigenous community members.
Supporting Council’s commitment to quality
of life, multiple improvements were made to
well-loved community facilities. The tennis
courts at Centennial Park were resurfaced and
landscaped, while Glen Lake Spray Park was
significantly upgraded and expanded with
accessible play options and improved drainage,
turning it into a refreshed lakeside destination
for families.
Langford’s reputation as an outdoor recreation
community continued to grow. The opening of
Flipside, a new intermediate trail at Gravity Zone
and Nature Trails Park, expanded trail options
for riders, while hosting the Canadian Cross
Country Mountain Bike Championships at Jordie
Lunn Bike Park brought athletes and spectators
together for a national celebration of sport and
community.
Taken together, these milestones reflect a city
growing thoughtfully and planning with purpose.
Thank you to our partners and the community
for their continued commitment to making
Langford a vibrant, welcoming place to live,
work, and thrive.

Administration
The Administration Department includes the office of the CAO and Deputy CAO, and
oversees the following functions: community safety and municipal enforcement,
human resources, legislative services, contracts and agreements, police services,
land acquisitions and dispositions, oversight of significant City initiatives, and other
administrative functions.
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
OVERVIEW
The Administration Department provides a range
of services that requires innovative partnerships,
and collaboration with key partners to support City
initiatives and provide accessible and transparent
services to the community. The department is
responsible for strategic land acquisitions, contract
negotiations, and internal functions such as human
resources, legislative and protective services and
RCMP support services.
2025 HIGHLIGHTS
  Implementation of Council’s Strategic Plan
(ongoing)
2025 marked the second year of Langford’s
first Council Strategic Plan, and the
Administration Department continued
to lead its city-wide implementation. All
major initiatives and budget decisions were
aligned with the Strategic Plan’s six priority
areas, ensuring that new projects advanced
Council’s vision and values. Progress
reviews were conducted with Council to
track achievements and adjust timelines,
demonstrating a commitment to transparent,
efficient governance, and service delivery.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT  5. GOOD GOVERNANCE
5g: Maintain the City’s Long-standing Corporate Efficiencies
  Maintaining Lean Operations and Corporate
Efficiency (ongoing)
The City maintained its reputation for
“operating lean” with minimal bureaucracy,
empowering staff to make timely decisions
and keep costs down. Even as new processes
were introduced to support Strategic Plan
initiatives, the Administration Department
ensured that additional steps were added only
when necessary, preserving Langford’s efficient
approval processes and cost-effective service
model. This balanced approach streamlines the
implementation of Council’s priorities while
upholding long-standing corporate efficiencies.

  Strategic Land & Facility Acquisitions
Completed
Building on negotiations initiated in 2024,
the City successfully finalized two major
acquisitions in early 2025. The Westhills
YMCA/YWCA Aquatic Centre, a cornerstone
recreation facility, was purchased by the City,
with the final $33.9 million payment completed
and ownership officially transferred on March
31, 2025. In addition, the City closed the
purchase of Woodlands Park, securing over
6.6 acres of urban green space in the heart of
downtown Langford. Thanks to the generosity
of longtime owners Ralph Stoerzer and Laura
Kiehl, this $9.8 million acquisition was made
at roughly half the property’s appraised value,
establishing an enduring green legacy for the
community. Both acquisitions support current
and future recreational needs and quality of
life for residents.

  Child Care and Arts Facilities
– New Projects Progress
The City made significant headway on two
major child care projects funded by the
ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund. The first
project, new Child Care and Cultural Centre
at Jenkins Avenue/Glen Lake Road, will
provide 49 licensed child care spaces and
a purpose-built arts studio to replace the
aging Centennial Centre at 2805 Carlow
Road. In summer 2025, the City awarded a
design-build contract to local firms (Studio
531 and Blackrete Builders) and began site
development in partnership with a B.C.-based
mass timber manufacturer. This innovative
modular construction approach will enable the
facility to open by spring 2027. The second
project, a childcare facility at 2805 Carlow
Road, will create 73 new child care spaces
co-located with community uses on the
second floor. By late 2025, rezoning for the
Carlow site was completed and detailed
design was underway, with construction
slated to begin in early 2027. Together,
these projects represent over $13.4 million
in senior government funding for childcare
and will provide 122 new child care spaces
in Langford, dramatically improving access
to affordable childcare and arts/cultural
amenities for local families.

Expanded Access to Primary Health Care
The City took bold action to address the
region’s doctor shortage. In 2025, Langford
partnered with the South Island Primary
Care Society and the Goldstream Masonic
Hall to develop a new primary care clinic in
downtown Langford. Council committed up
to $1.7 million to fund tenant improvements,
medical equipment, and clinic setup in
a commercial space at 2832 Bryn Maur
Road. This partnership fast-tracked the
establishment of the Goldstream Medical
Clinic, which provides space for 10 family
doctors and will attach approximately
12,500 patients – nearly half of the Langford
residents who lacked a family physician.
By the end of 2025 the clinic was fully
constructed and outfitted, and it officially
opened its doors in early 2026 to bring much-
needed primary care to the community.

  West Shore RCMP Detachment Expansion
The multi-jurisdictional effort to expand
the West Shore RCMP facility continued to
move forward in 2025. The inter-municipal
Validation Phase was completed, confirming
the project’s scope, budget, and design
through a collaborative Integrated Project
Delivery (IPD) process. It was anticipated
that in Q1 2026, Langford, Colwood, and
View Royal would formally endorse the
project’s Validation Report and a cost-sharing
Memorandum of Understanding to finance
the new detachment, allowing for detailed
design and the start of phased construction
by late 2026. Once built, the expanded RCMP
detachment will ensure effective policing
and public safety services for a West Shore
population forecasted to reach 150,000 over
the next 25 years.

  Downtown Post-Secondary Campus Opens
After years of advocacy and planning, the
Royal Roads University – West Shore
Campus opened its doors in downtown
Langford in September 2025. The
Administration Department worked closely
with RRU and other partners to support the
successful launch of this milestone project,
which brings accessible post-secondary
education and an innovation hub to the City’s
core. In 2025, the City also partnered with
RRU to develop a “Campus Perks” program
connecting students and faculty with local
businesses and amenities, further integrating
the new John Horgan campus into the
community. The new downtown campus
is a key step in establishing Langford as a
regional centre for education and innovation.

  City-Wide Master Planning Initiatives
The Administration Department spearheaded
cross-departmental collaboration on
multiple long-range planning projects in 2025,
ensuring an integrated approach to managing
Langford’s growth. Working with all City
departments and extensive public input, the
City completed or advanced several major
Master Plans – including the Parks and Trails
Master Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and
Active Transportation Plan, Arts and Culture
Strategic Plan and Economic Development
Strategic Plan – in alignment with the goals
of the Council Strategic Plan. By the end of
2025, drafts of the new master plans were
finalized or near finalized, identifying clear
long-term strategies and capital priorities
that will guide decision-making for the next
decade and beyond.

2026 Objectives and Measures
Continue to Take Action Towards
Reconciliation (ongoing)
The City remains deeply committed to truth
and reconciliation and will advance its initiatives
with local First Nations and urban Indigenous
communities. In 2025, Council members and staff
undertook Indigenous cultural awareness training
and worked with the Indigenous Perspectives
Society (IPS) to develop a comprehensive
decolonization workplan and reconciliation action
plan for the City. In 2026, the Administration
Department will begin implementing concrete
actions to foster relationships, enact systemic
changes, and celebrate Indigenous culture in
Langford. Key ongoing efforts include partnering
with First Nations on community events (such
as the Change Makers Gathering festival),
expanding the City’s street banner program
showcasing Indigenous art, and finalizing a
formal Reconciliation Action Plan with clear
goals, resources, and success indicators. These
initiatives are long-term commitments that will
continue indefinitely, guided by meaningful
collaboration with Indigenous leaders and
organizations.

expansion move into the critical design and
construction phases. The Administration
Department will continue to represent Langford’s
interests and provide project oversight as detailed
design of the expanded RCMP detachment is
completed (through late 2026) and initial site
work commences. This collaborative project, in
partnership with Colwood, View Royal and the
RCMP, uses an innovative Integrated Project
Delivery model to ensure all stakeholders remain
aligned on shared goals, budget, and schedule.
The City will maintain its leadership role in this
process, emphasizing transparent decision-making,
cost control, and value for money. By the end
of 2026, the project is expected to be under full
construction, bringing the vision of a modernized,
larger RCMP facility another step closer to reality.

(ongoing)
As the West Shore’s largest and fastest-growing
municipality, Langford will continue to take a
leadership role in important regional discussions
and decision-making tables. In 2026, the City
(through the CAO and Deputy CAO’s office)
will remain an active participant in regional
planning efforts such as transportation and transit
improvements, housing strategies, and public
safety collaborations. By maintaining a strong voice
in forums like the Capital Regional District (CRD)
and inter-municipal working groups, Langford
ensures that regional initiatives, from transit
exchange expansions to emergency management
planning, reflect the needs and interests of our
community. This proactive engagement helps the
City leverage partnerships and regional resources
while advocating for solutions that benefit
Langford and the broader West Shore.

HUMAN RESOURCES
Human Resources is responsible for the management of the City employee life cycle
by supporting the recruitment and hiring, training and development, health and safety,
and performance management of all City staff members through the development and
management of employee policies and procedure guidelines, collective bargaining, and
compensation and benefits. Their role also includes strategic human resources initiatives
like diversity, equity, and inclusion training, leadership development, and succession
planning programs.
OVERVIEW
In 2025, the City supported organizational
stability through key workforce initiatives.
Colwood RCMP employees were successfully
integrated into the Langford RCMP CUPE 50
union, and staff turnover stayed very low, with
only eight full‑time employees leaving during
the year. The City also partnered with local
post‑secondary institutions to bring in three
co‑op students, supporting both education and
City services. Following the departure of the
HR manager, the two remaining team members
stepped up to keep the department running
smoothly for nine months, maintaining high
service levels until a new manager was in place.
2025 HIGHLIGHTS
The most significant updates in 2025 included:
  Colwood RCMP employees in the CUPE 374
bargaining unit were successfully transitioned
to Langford RCMP and CUPE 50 bargaining
unit.
  13 people in temporary roles transitioned
to full-time, regular roles.
  Only 8 full-time, regular employees left the
organization in 2025.
  HR continues to foster positive relationships

ADMINISTRATION
OVERVIEW
Community Patrol Officers undertook a varied
range of duties in 2025, including responding to
complaints regarding violations of City regulatory
bylaws, such as noise, parking, land use, buildings,
soil (movements), watercourse protection, and
burning regulations. In conjunction with the
West Shore RCMP, Bylaw staff also participated
in delivering enhanced public safety by directly
engaging with those experiencing homelessness,
mental health, and addictions. In 2025, Officers
noted a decrease in the number of unhoused
individuals sheltering in Langford parks and
public spaces over the previous year. Key
contributors to this decrease include reliable
enforcement of the sheltering components of
the Parks Regulation Bylaw and ongoing
collaboration with specialized agencies. Bylaw
Officers continue to engage with unhoused
individuals, dedicating 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 remain a regional and provincial issue.
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.

2025 HIGHLIGHTS
  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 legal
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
Like most cities, public street parking
continues to present community concerns
that require the regular attention of Bylaw
Enforcement Officers. This department
continues to respond diligently to resident
complaints about parking violations. The
Bylaw Department recognizes the value
Langford’s expanding cycling network brings
to the community, and with that, the team
continues intervention and enforcement
efforts to ensure these lanes remain free
of parked vehicles so they continue to
function as an accessible and safe part of
City transportation infrastructure. Completing
the 2025 Parking Review Study of the
downtown core will assist staff with further
strategic planning of enforcement practices
and responses.

  Parks and Trail Patrols
An annual public safety initiative in Langford
since 2005, the Bylaw Department conducted
regular bike and foot patrols of City parks,
beaches, and trails through the summer
months of 2025. 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.

Community Safety
To maintain existing civic standards, Bylaw
Officers will continue to offer high levels of
service to residents by responding to incoming
complaints, mediating where necessary,
proactively attending to observed safety issues,
and continuing to backstop the good work being
done by our emergency services partners such
as Langford Fire Rescue and West Shore RCMP.
Through 2026, 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
community standards bylaws, and helping the
unhoused find appropriate services. With a
tailored software system and the provincially
backed Bylaw Offence Notice system, the
department will continue to improve its parking
management efficiencies.

OVERVIEW ­— TOURISM
The department continued to establish the
City of Langford as a popular visitor destination
through innovative marketing campaigns and
strategic marketing partnerships. Tourism is
proven to drive economic growth and job creation,
which supports the City’s goal of creating and
maintaining an economically diverse, vibrant, and
resilient business community. All tourism initiatives
are 100% funded through the hotel tax bylaw,
which is collected by hotel operators, submitted
to the Province, and remitted to the City of
Langford. Council has identified the importance
of supporting the tourism economy as a strategic
objective in the City’s first Strategic Plan.
2025 TOURISM HIGHLIGHTS
  Enhanced collaboration and information
sharing with hotel General Managers by
meeting regularly to discuss marketing
campaigns, review occupancy reports,
explore new opportunities, and any
challenges.
  Hotel tax revenue increased 21.2% over 2024,
and the highest level received to date.
The Communications and Economic Development Department oversees the City’s
economic development, tourism, external communications, public engagement,
arts and culture, and events-related needs. The department provides support to local
businesses and those looking to open a business in Langford, oversees the business
license program, establishes and manages the City’s tourism strategy, manages all
media communications, manages City social media accounts, plans and organizes
public engagement opportunities, plans and manages City led community events,
and provides support to all external community events.

In 2025, the City continued to support local
businesses from a retention and expansion

sustained private-sector investment. Year-over-year,
Langford is seeing unprecedented interest from new
businesses, expansions, and home-based enterprises,
evidence that entrepreneurs continue to choose
Langford as a place to start, expand, and invest.
Building on this momentum, the City of Langford will

Throughout 2025, the City made significant

that a thriving community depends on inclusivity,
transparency, and a sense of shared purpose,
the City has launched several new initiatives
aimed at strengthening civic engagement and
promoting active democracy.
One new initiative underway is the introduction
of an official City newsletter, with email
subscriber collection currently in progress.
The first issue is planned for release in summer
2026 and will provide residents with timely
updates on City projects, strategic initiatives,
and community events.
To further promote engagement, the City has
expanded its use of digital platforms and social
media, enabling real-time communication and
information sharing. Enhanced accessibility
measures have been implemented to ensure
citizens from diverse backgrounds can
participate fully, including translation services,
accessible web content, and targeted outreach
to youth, seniors, and newcomers.
To further promote engagement, the City
website is now available to be translated into
any language and is fully compliant with best
practice accessibility tools, ensuring everyone
has equitable access to information and services.
These efforts will help ensure that City Hall
remains responsive, accountable, and connected
with the people it serves, supporting collective
progress and a vibrant, inclusive community.

LOOKING FORWARD
2026 Objectives and Measures
Reduce Construction Impact
As outlined in Council’s Strategic Plan, the City
seeks to reduce the impact of construction on
the community with a Construction Impact
Management Strategy and a ‘Good Neighbour’
Policy. This strategy starts with early guidance,
education, and proactive enforcement, and
will result in several new bylaws/amendments
to mitigated construction impacts. The Policy
will result in a written commitment from each
developer and business at the earliest stage of
permitting on how they intend to be a “good
neighbour.” It is in everyone’s best interest
to accommodate growth, development, and
business operations in such a way that is
reasonably livable for neighbouring residents.

1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
1f: Develop a Construction Impact Management Strategy
and ‘Good Neighbour’ Policy.
Develop a Transportation Master Plan and
Active Transportation Plan
As outlined in Council’s Strategic Plan, the
Transportation Master Plan (TMP) will be
Langford’s first official guide for long-term
planning and development of the City’s
transportation network. The Active Transportation
Plan (ATP) will be developed alongside the TMP
and will focus on providing greater choices
for walking, rolling, and cycling around the
community. An ATP will help to reduce the
growing pressure and congestion on the existing
road network. Both plans are to being developed
to achieve the mode shift targets and integrated
multi-modal objectives set by the Official
Community Plan (OCP) Refresh.

  Review the Zoning Bylaw to Ensure
Alignment with the Housing Needs Report
As per Provincial legislation, local governments
were required to review, and if required,
update, their Zoning Bylaws by the end of
2025 to accommodate the 20-year housing
need as identified through the 2024 Interim
Housing Needs Report. Staff conducted
this assessment and reported to Council in
November 2025 that the number of residential
units required to meet the City’s 20-year
housing need is achieved through the
Zoning Bylaw.

  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. Three phases of work were
completed in 2025, including background
review, data collection and analysis, and
engagement. This work was presented to
Council in December 2025 along with the key
recommendations for the new Bylaw.

This review will enable the City to better
understand the parking needs of residents,
businesses, commuters and the new Langford
John Horgan Campus, all with the goal of
building a thriving downtown core. Substantial
progress was also made on this project in
2025, culminating in an update to Council in
December 2025 regarding data collection and
analysis results, public engagement findings,
and initial recommendations for the strategy
framework.

  Update the Amenity Contribution Policy  
In 2023, the provincial government introduced
new legislation authorizing local governments
to establish Amenity Cost Charge (ACC)
programs. ACCs are a new financial tool
that allow municipalities to collect funding
for community amenities in a standardized,
clear, and transparent manner, similar to
Development Cost Charges.
In 2024, the Province also amended the
Local Government Act to change how local
governments can use density bonus provisions
and to establish an Inclusionary Zoning
tool. These amendments change how local
governments can secure affordable housing
through new development. Following the
release of detailed implementation guidance in
mid 2025, staff initiated a review of Langford’s
Affordable Housing and Amenity Contribution
Policy and Attainable Housing Policy to
assess how existing approaches to securing
community amenities and affordable housing
need to be updated to align with the new
legislative framework.

design guidelines require updating to reflect
current design standards and best practices,
and to implement the High-Quality City
Building vision as set out in the new Official
Community Plan. Background research and
analysis commenced in 2025 as well as the
feasibility review of establishing an Advisory

Update the Environmental Development
Permit Area Guidelines and Associated Maps
The City’s Environmental Development
Permit Area guidelines currently apply to
areas of sensitive ecosystems, riparian
areas, and areas of potential habitat and
biodiversity. These guidelines inform how
new development, land alteration activities,
and construction within these designated
areas should be done in order to protect,
enhance, and mitigate impacts to sensitive
and significant natural features.
In 2025, Council added an initiative to update
these guidelines and maps to the 2023-2027
Council Strategic Plan. Updated guidelines
will incorporate the objectives of the Urban
Forest Management Plan and Official
Community Plan as well as address gaps
and opportunities in the current guidelines
to improve outcomes and incorporate
best practices. The associated OCP maps
designating where the guidelines apply will be
updated to ensure, as much as possible, that
they accurately represent the current extent
of these features.
Several phases of work were completed
in 2025, including background review and
analysis, biophysical inventory and field work,
and public engagement.

  Housing Strategy  
In November, 2025, Council directed staff
to develop a housing strategy to advance
Policy 8.24 of the Official Community Plan.
As stated in that Policy, the strategy will
provide direction on how the City can improve
housing choice and affordability, identify
and remove barriers to housing in the key
areas of housing need, ensure the integration
of family-sized housing into multi-family
development in key areas, and otherwise
implement the desired outcomes of the
Emphasizing Housing Action section of the
OCP.

The Province of British Columbia identified the
City of Langford as one of 40 municipalities
with the highest housing need and projected
population growth in the Housing Supply
Regulation. As a result, the Minister of
Housing issued a Housing Target Order (HTO)
for Langford as part of the fourth cohort of
municipalities to receive such as Order on
August 18, 2025. The HTO went into effect on
September 1, 2025 and mandates a five-year
target of 2,993 net new completed housing
units. Progress towards this overall net-new
number of housing units will be measured
cumulatively on an annual basis as follows:
Year 1: 449 net-new units
Year 2: 928 net-new units
Year 3: 1,482 net-new units
Year 4: 2,155 net-new units
Year 5: 2,993 net-new units

Staff continued administering the Attainable
Housing Program in 2025. During this time,
10 homes were sold within the Attainable

rental units while the third adjusted the terms
of a previously approved below-market rental
housing agreement.

coordinated with the workplan to create an
Inclusionary Zoning Bylaw to replace the
Attainable Housing Policy as described above.
This will ensure a coordinated and integrated
approach between these two projects, and that
the Inclusionary Zoning Bylaw can be deployed
as an immediate action to implement important
aspects of the Housing Strategy.
This work will also include a review of the
changes to the Residential Tenancy Act and
opportunities to support tenants that are
affected by redevelopment.
It’s expected that the Strategy will be finalized
for Council consideration in summer 2026.

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.
There have been many changes
to the BC Building Code in recent
years, including ones which were
implemented in March 2025.
These changes add complexity
to the Code. Building Services
Department staff participated in
training related to these changes
and began providing guidance to
the development community.
The Building Services Department is responsible for ensuring compliance with the cur-
rent British Columbia Building Code and other building regulations, including the City
of Langford’s Building Bylaw. 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 compliance with zoning provisions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Mayor and Councillors of City of Langford
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of City of Langford (the Entity), which
comprise:
•
the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025
•
the consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended
•
the consolidated statement of changes in net financial assets (debt) for the year then ended
•
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended
•
and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies
(Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2025, 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.

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.

•
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.

Significant accounting policies
(a)
Reporting entity
(b) Basis of accounting
(c)
Revenue recognition
The City of Langford (the "City") is incorporated and operates under the provisions of the British Columbia Local
Government Act and the Community Charter of British Columbia.
The consolidated financial statements of the City are prepared by management in accordance with
Canadian public sector accounting standards for local governments as recommended by the Public
Sector Accounting Board ("PSAB") of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada.  Significant
accounting policies adopted by the City are as follows:
The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the
City.  The consolidated financial statements also include the City's proportionate interest in the
West Shore Parks and Recreation Society ("West Shore"), an organization jointly controlled by the
City.  The City does not administer any trust activities on behalf of external parties.
The City follows the accrual method of accounting for revenues and expenses.  Revenues are
normally recognized in the year in which they are earned and measurable.  Expenses are recognized
as they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and/or the creation
of a legal obligation to pay.
Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as revenues in the
period in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are authorized, any
eligibility criteria have been met, and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be made, except
when and to the extent the transfer gives rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a
liability.
Property tax revenue is recognized on an accrual basis using approved tax rates and the anticipated
assessment for the current year.  Parcel tax revenues are recognized in the year that they are
levied.
Revenue from unilateral transactions is recognized when the City has the ability to claim or retain
an inflow of economic resources and a past transaction or event giving rise to the asset has
occurred. Revenue from exchange transactions is recognized when or as the City has satisfied
performance obligations.

Investment income
(g)
Cash equivalents
(h) Long-term debt
Investment income is reported as revenue in the period earned.  When required by the funding
government or related Act, investment income earned on deferred revenue is added to the
investment and forms part of the deferred revenue balance.
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are cashable on demand or have
a term to maturity of 90 days or less at acquisition.
Deferred revenue includes grants, contributions, and other amounts received from third parties
pursuant to legislation, regulation and agreement which may only be used in certain programs, in
the completion of specific work, or for the purchase of tangible capital assets.  In addition, certain
user charges and fees are collected for which the related services have yet to be performed.
Revenue is recognized in the period when the related expenses are incurred, services performed, or
the tangible capital assets are acquired thereby extinguishing any liability to the City.
Development cost charges are amounts which are restricted by government legislation or
agreement with external parties.  When qualifying expenditures are incurred, development cost
charges are recognized as revenue in amounts which equal the associated expenses.
Receipts restricted by third parties are deferred and reported as refundable deposits under certain
circumstances.  Refundable deposits are returned when the third party meets their obligations or
the deposits are recognized as revenue when qualifying expenditures are incurred.
Long-term debt is recorded net of related repayments.

(iv) Leased tangible capital assets
Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the
provision of services.  They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not
intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations.
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes amounts that are directly
attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset.  The cost,
less residual value, of the tangible capital assets, excluding land, are amortized on a straight
line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Non-financial assets are written down when conditions indicate that they no longer contribute
to the City's ability to provide goods and services, or when the value of future economic
benefits associated with the asset are less than the book value of the asset.
Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value and are
recorded as revenue at the date of receipt.
Works of art and cultural and historic assets are not recorded as assets in these financial
statements.
Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of
property are accounted for as leased tangible capital assets.  All other leases are accounted for
as operating leases and the related payments are charged to expenses as incurred.

An asset and liability for the removal of asbestos has been recognized based on estimated future
expenses on closure of the site and post-closure care. The capital assets affected by the asbestos
liability are being amortized following the amortization accounting policies outlined in 1(i)(i) above.
An asset retirement obligation is recognized when, as at the financial reporting date, all the
following criteria are met:
1) There is a legal obligation to incur retirement costs in relation to a tangible capital asset;
Inventory of supplies held for consumption is recorded at the lower of cost and replacement
cost.
Contaminated sites are defined as the result of contamination being introduced in air, soil,
water or sediment of a chemical, organic, or radioactive material or live organism that exceeds
an environmental standard.  A liability for remediation of contaminated sites is recognized, net
of any expected recoveries, when all of the following criteria are met:
The City and its employees make contributions to the Municipal Pension Plan.  These contributions
are expensed as incurred.  The costs of a multi-employer defined contribution pension plan, such as
the Municipal Pension Plan, are the employer's contributions due to the plan in the period.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
(l)
Financial instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivables,
property taxes receivable, and accounts payables and accrued liabilities and debt.
Financial instruments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition.  Derivative instruments and
equity instruments that are quoted in an active market are reported at fair value.  All other financial
instruments are subsequently recorded at cost or amortized cost unless management has elected
to carry the instruments at fair value.  Management has not elected to carry any other financial
instruments at fair value.
Unrealized changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of remeasurement gains and
losses until they are realized, when they are transferred to the statement of operations. There are
no unrealized changes in fair value as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As a result,
the City does not have a statement of remeasurement gains and losses.
Transaction costs incurred on the acquisition of financial instruments measured subsequently at fair
value are expensed as incurred.  All other financial instruments are adjusted by transaction costs
incurred on acquisition and financing costs, which are amortized using the straight-line method or
effective interest rate method.
All financial assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis.  When a decline is determined
to be other than temporary, the amount of the loss is reported in the statement of operations and
any unrealized gain is adjusted through the statement of remeasurement gains and losses.  When
the asset is sold, the unrealized gains and losses previously recognized in the statement of
remeasurement gains and losses are reversed and recognized in the statement of operations.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
(m) Public private partnerships (P3)
(n) Use of estimates
A P3 arrangement occurs between a public sector entity and a private sector entity where the
private sector entity designs, builds, finances and operates the infrastructure.
The City recognizes infrastructure assets acquired under P3 arrangements as tangible capital assets
when the City controls the purpose and use of the infrastructure, access to the future economic
benefits and exposure to risks of the infrastructure assets, and significant residual interest in the
infrastructure, if any, at the end of the P3’s term. The assets are initially recognized at fair value,
including costs incurred directly by the City and are subsequently amortized over the assets’ useful
lives in accordance with the amortization accounting policy (note 1(i)(i)).
Under the financial liability model, the P3 related liability is initially recognized at the same amount
as the assets, less any consideration paid to the private sector entity, and is subsequently measured
at amortized cost using the interest rate implicit in the P3 arrangement.
Under the user-pay model, the private sector partner has the rights to earn revenue from third
party users or access to another revenue-generating asset as compensation. The P3 related liability
is initially recognized at the same amount as the assets. Revenue from the user-pay model is
recognized and the liability reduced according to the terms of the agreement.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the period.  Estimates include assumptions used in estimating historical cost and
useful lives of tangible capital assets, estimating fair value of contributed tangible capital assets and
in estimating provisions for accrued liabilities and asset retirement obligations.  Actual results could
differ from these estimates.

During 2004, the City entered into a franchise and partnering agreement with West Shore Environmental
Services Inc. ("WSES") and Terasen Utility Services Inc.  The term of the agreement is 21 years, with a single
21 year renewal which has been exercised.  Under the agreement, the City grants an exclusive franchise to
WSES to design, construct, finance, own, and operate and maintain sanitary sewers in the City.  The City
also grants an exemption from municipal property tax for sewer infrastructure and WSES has been granted
an Order in Council to extend that exemption to property taxes for all other jurisdictions.  Upon termination
of the agreement, the sewer infrastructure constructed by WSES will be acquired by the City for a nominal
payment.
WSES will recover its capital costs by imposition of a sewer capital recovery fee ("SCRF") on owners of
property who wish to connect to the sewer.  WSES will also bill and collect all user fees.   WSES will pay the
City franchise fees that are estimated to total $11 million over the 21 year term of the agreement.
The City records the costs of sewer infrastructure constructed by WSES $4,234,936 (2024 - $4,900,855) and
corresponding remaining cost to be recovered.  The remaining cost to be recovered is reduced as SCRF's are
collected by WSES.
The cost of WSES sewer infrastructure, less residual value, is amortized on a straight line basis over their
estimated useful lives, 60 to 70 years.
During the 2025 year, the remaining costs to be recovered were in excess of the amount owing.  In
accordance with the agreement, the City has recorded an agency fee of the excess in the amount of
$6,281,883 (2024 - $2,916,315).

Municipal pension plan

Commitments and contingencies
(a)
Contingent liabilities
Every three years, an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the plan and
adequacy of plan funding.  The actuary determines an appropriate combined employer and member
contribution rate to fund the plan.  The actuary's calculated contribution rate is based on the entry-age
normal cost method, which produces the long-term rate of member and employer contributions sufficient
to provide benefits for average future entrants to the plan.  This rate may be adjusted for the amortization
of any actuarial funding surplus and will be adjusted for the amortization of any unfunded actuarial liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation as at December 31, 2024 indicated a $2,675 million funding surplus for
basic pension benefits on a going concern basis.    The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2027.
Employers participating in the Plan record their pension expense as the amount of employer contributions
made during the fiscal year (defined contribution pension plan accounting).  This is because the Plan
records accrued liabilities and accrued assets for the Plan in aggregate with the result that there is no
consistent and reliable basis for allocating the obligation, assets and cost to the individual employers
participating in the Plan.
The City paid $1,918,138 (2024 - $1,416,787) for employer contributions while employees contributed
$1,640,397 (2024 - $1,289,619) to the Plan in fiscal 2025.
The City and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (the "Plan"), a jointly trusteed pension
plan.  The board of trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for administering
the Plan, including investment of the assets and administration of benefits.  The Plan is a multi-employer
defined benefit pension plan.  Basic pension benefits provided are based on a formula.  As at December 31,
2024, the plan had about 273,000 active members and approximately 133,000 retired members.  Active
members include approximately 47,000 contributors from local governments.
The CRD debt, under provisions of the Local Government Act, is a direct, joint and several liability of
the CRD and each member municipality within the CRD, including the City of Langford.
The City is a shareholder and member of the Capital Region Emergency Service Telecommunications
(CREST) Incorporated who provides centralized emergency communications, and related public safety
information services to municipalities, regional district, the provincial and federal governments and
their agencies, and emergency services organizations throughout the Greater Victoria region and the
Gulf Islands.  Members' obligations to share in funding ongoing operations and any additional costs
relating to capital assets are to be contributed pursuant to a Members' Agreement.

On February 7, 2013, the City entered into a purchase of service agreement with the YMCA/YWCA of
Greater Victoria to provide access for Langford residents to an aquatic facility.  The City agreed to pay
$750,000 per year to be indexed by population every two years from the opening date to a maximum
of $950,000 per year for a period of 25 years.  In 2023, the City agreed to increase this amount by an
additional $950,000.
The City entered into a long-term contract with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for the
provision of police services effective October 1, 1994.  Under the terms of this contract, the City is
responsible for 90% of policing costs.  The 2026 estimated cost of this contract is $16,668,850.
From time to time, the City is subject to claims and other lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of
business, some of which may seek damages in substantial amounts. Liability for these claims and
lawsuits are recorded to the extent that the probability of a loss is likely and it is estimable.  It is
considered that the potential claims against the City resulting from such litigation will be covered by
insurance and therefore will not materially affect the consolidated financial statements of the City.
On December 12, 2024, the City entered into an agreement to purchase parkland. As part of a the
agreement, the City is committed to purchase all manufactured homes located on the property, if the
tenant is unable or does not wish to relocate their manufactured home. These home purchases are to
be completed by January 31, 2030. At December 31, 2025, the total purchase commitment is
estimated to be $7,767,650.
Operating contracts include a cost of living factor for subsequent years.  These have not been included
in the total amount of the contract as the cost of living factor for subsequent years is currently not
determinable.   As at December 31, 2025, the following major contracts were in progress:

West Shore Parks and Recreation Society
(a)
Capital asset transfer
The Capital Regional District (the "CRD") transferred the lands and facilities comprising the Juan de
Fuca Recreation Centre to the following municipal members (the "Municipalities") effective January 2,
2002; City of Langford, City of Colwood, District of Highlands, District of Metchosin and the CRD (on
behalf of a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area).  Effective January 1, 2007 the Town of View
Royal became a member of the Society.  Effective January 1, 2018, the CRD is no longer a member of
the Society.
In 2002 the lands and facilities were transferred to the Municipalities in their proportionate share, as
specified in the Co-Owners' Agreement.  The lands and facilities were reallocated amongst the
members on January 1, 2007 when the Town of View Royal became a member.  Future improvements
are allocated among the members as per the cost sharing formula in effect each year for each service
or facility, as outlined in a Members' Agreement.  For 2025, the City's share of improvements
purchased by the Society on its behalf is $560,470.
Because the cost sharing formula in the Members' Agreement produces different cost shares for the
members from year-to-year, there is a gain or loss on the opening fund balances.  In 2025, the City of
Langford's change in cost share is $146,782.
The Municipalities have each become members in the Society, which was incorporated to provide
parks, recreation and community services to the Municipalities under contract.  Under terms of an
Operating, Maintenance and Management Agreement, the Society is responsible to equip, maintain,
manage and operate the facilities located at the recreation centre. The current agreement has a term
of March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2025. The agreement was extended for another five year term to
February 28, 2030.

Financial risks and concentration of credit risk
(a)
Credit risk
(b) Liquidity risk
(c)
Market risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting
in a financial loss. The City is exposed to credit risk with respect to the accounts receivable, cash
and investments.
The City assesses, on a continuous basis, accounts receivable and provides for any amounts that
are not collectible in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The maximum exposure to credit risk of
the City at December 31, 2025 is the carrying value of these assets.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is valued with consideration for an allowance for
doubtful accounts. The amount of any related impairment loss is recognized in the statement of
operations. Subsequent recoveries of impairment losses related to accounts receivable are
credited to the statement of operations. The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts at
December 31, 2025 is $230,738 (2024 - $136,689).
As at December 31, 2025, $4,827,647 (2024 - $7,955,275) of trade accounts receivable were past
due, but not impaired.
There have been no significant changes to credit risk exposure from 2024.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the City will be unable to fulfill its obligations on a timely basis or at a
reasonable cost.  The City manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its operating requirements.  The
City prepares budget and cash forecasts to ensure it has sufficient funds to fulfill its obligations.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are generally due within 30 days of receipt of an invoice.
There have been no significant changes to the liquidity risk exposure from 2024.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates or interest
rates will affect the City’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The
objective of market risk management is to control market risk exposures within acceptable
parameters while optimizing return on investment.

The Province of British Columbia distributed conditional GCF grants to communities at the end of
March 2023 to help local governments build community infrastructure and amenities to meet the
demands of population growth. The GCF provided a one-time total of $1 billion in grants to all 161
municipalities and 27 regional districts in British Columbia.

Financial risks and concentration of credit risk (continued)
(i)
Foreign exchange risk
(ii)
Interest rate risk
17.
Impact of tariffs
The imposition of U.S. tariffs on cross-border trade and resulting Canadian counter-measures may
result in increased costs for goods and services procured from U.S. suppliers, impacting operations and
infrastructure projects. While the long-term impact remains uncertain, the City is actively working to
monitor and mitigate the risks and impacts of tariffs.
The City is exposed to financial risks as a result of exchange rate fluctuations and the volatility
of these rates.  In the normal course of business, the City makes purchases denominated in
U.S. dollars.  To help mitigate this risk, the City maintains a U.S. dollar bank account.
As at December 31, 2025 financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies totalled
$51,799 USD ($70,995 CAD).
There have been no significant changes to the foreign exchange risk exposure from 2024.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates.
Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the City to interest
rate risk. The City is exposed to this risk through to its interest bearing loans payable and its
investments.
The City mitigates interest rate risk on its term debt through regular management and
monitoring of interest rate fluctuations and ensuring revenues (primarily Parcel Tax) are
adjusted accordingly.  Additionally, interest rate risk for financial liabilities are mitigated
through corresponding interest rate fluctuations for financial assets; therefore, fluctuations in
market interest rates would not significantly impact future cash flows and operations relating
to the term debt.
There has been no change to the interest rate risk exposure from 2024.
