Lynn Whitehouse & Langley Chamber - Heros in Our Community

With a room full of Rick Green insiders who took over town hall last night, Lynn Whitehouse and several brave giants in our community dared to speak out in favour of the Preliminary Design for the Mufford/64 Ave Overpass. Lynn is the executive director of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and a long-time Township of Langley resident. Lynn Whitehouse has served as a leader in our comunity - a giant - in the Langleys.

We are very thankful and appareciate of Lynn Whitehouse and our Chamber of Commerce for making the case for an east-west connection here in Langley. Our community is a better place because of quality folks such as this.

While many other speakers resorted to name-calling and threatening of public officials, Lynn Whitehouse showed the class and respectfulness of a true leader as she took the floor and elequently stated her case and that of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. At the point before Lynn spoke, several of us Langley Record board members had lost all hope that this public meeting would be respectful and be a quality representation befitting of Langley Township. Hope was restored thanks to Lynn, our Chamber, and the few others with the courage to speak up.

There were 160 people present out of a Township population of about 105,000 people. A very SMALL fraction of our community and for the most part, a poor representation of a decent and respectful Langley. While its fine to debate and disagree, one can do so with respect and decency. There wasn't a whole lot of that last night unfortunately.

Let's hope the poll of the broader community provides rays of hope to us all who desire an east-west connection and options. Thank you Lynn Whitehouse and the Chamber of Commerce!
