Statement on Christmas Events

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. 

With December just around the corner, I would like to highlight some holiday events that are happening in Cloverdale-Langley City this holiday season.  

The City of Langley’s Magic of Christmas Festival is taking place December 3rd and 4th. This event happens at the Timms Community Centre, provides fun for the whole family, and features a holiday artisan market. 

On December 4th, the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association is hosting the Surrey Santa Parade of Lights, where I will accompany a decorated vintage truck. The event collects donations and unwrapped toys for local food banks.  

On December 7th, the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce presents its December Charity Luncheon. This event raises money for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen to provide Christmas Hampers for those in need.  

The Langley Christmas Bureau, with more than 100 volunteers, will assemble toy bundles and accept donations to purchase gift cards for families in need. This year the Bureau is located in Langley City Hall and will receive donations until December 15th.  

Thank you to every volunteer in our community who works so hard to make sure all residents of Cloverdale-Langley City will have a wonderful holiday season. 

From my family to yours, Mr. Speaker, to my colleagues in this Chamber, and to all residents of Cloverdale-Langley City, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and best wishes for a Happy New Year! 

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
