Recap with Video of our Townhall Meeting Mosquitos

We would like to extend gratitude to all those who attended our recent Fort Langley Community Association Townhall Meeting on Mosquitoes. The event was a resounding success, with a strong turnout and engaging discussions about the challenges we face with mosquito control in our area. Thank you to Dirk Lewis and Shaun Calver from Morrow Bioscience, whose insightful presentation shed light on the technical aspects of managing mosquito control programs.

A Recap of the Meeting: During the meeting, we openly addressed the significant impact mosquitoes had on our lives and community throughout the previous year. We highlighted the disruption they caused, from hindering outdoor activities to affecting local businesses and even decreasing attendance at events like the Fort Langley Jazz Festival. The urgency to find a solution was palpable, and it was clear that our community was eager to tackle this issue head-on.

Collaborative Efforts and the Way Forward: While we had hoped for the attendance of representatives from the Township of Langley and Metro Vancouver, their absence did not dampen our resolve. We remain committed to working closely with them to address the oversight in mosquito control measures and seek their support in implementing effective solutions.

Moving forward, we aim to build upon the momentum generated by the Townhall Meeting. Our immediate focus will be on establishing strong lines of communication with the relevant authorities, ensuring that our concerns are heard and acted upon. It is through collaborative efforts and a unified community voice that we can achieve lasting change.
