Constituents in the Township of Langley appear to have selected a new mayor in the 2022 B.C. municipal election.
Global News projects Eric Woodward will take the mayor’s seat for the next four years.
The mayoral race in this Metro Vancouver municipality was one to watch, with former MLA and cabinet minister Rich Coleman aiming to succeed Jack Froese, who did not reoffer. Coleman was competing for the top job against veteran former councillor Michelle Sparrow, and sitting councillors Blair Whitmarsh and Woodward.
Joining Woodward on the council, Global News projects, will be Barb Martens, Margaret Kunst, Steve Ferguson, Misty Van Popta, Robert Rindt, Tim Baillie, Kim Richter and Michael Pratt.
The township lies on the traditional territories of the q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), Máthkwi (Matsqui), and se’mya’me (Semiahmoo) First Nations, and was incorporated in Fort Langley in 1873. It describes itself as one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Metro Vancouver.
