Langford, incorporated in 1992, has grown rapidly from a small community into one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, with a population exceeding 46,000 as of 2021. The area has been significant to the Lekwungen (Songhees and Esquimalt) First Nations for millennia, with traditional lands used for hunting and fishing. Today, Langford is a hub for outdoor recreation, offering kayaking and paddleboarding on Florence Lake, and hiking in Mill Hill Regional Park, where the 204-meter summit provides panoramic views of Victoria and the Olympic Mountains. The city is home to Rugby Canada’s training center at Starlight Stadium, hosting national matches, and the Bear Mountain Resort, a premier golf destination with two championship courses. Annual events like the Langford Bike Fest and the Christmas Light-Up Celebration add to its community spirit, blending modern development with natural charm.
