Fort Langley Day Trip on Sunday, December 2nd (9:30am – 5:00pm). Meetup at Lougheed Skytrain Stn


Join us for a trip to Fort Langley National Historic Site and the town of Fort Langley.

Fort Langley is often referred to as "the birthplace of British Columbia"; here the Hudson's Bay Company established a small trading post to trade with the First Nations. That was in 1827. Fort Langley has since been shaped by history and is now a town and a National Historic Site. At Fort Langley National Historic Site, we'll see a number of buildings, exhibits and character actors that highlight life at Fort Langley in pioneering times.

Bring your lunch! We'll eat it at the fort. After we visit Fort Langley National Historic Site, we'll go into the nearby town of Fort Langley for a snack.

We are going rain or shine and you must rsvp for this event.

When: Sunday, December 2nd (9:30am – 5:00pm)
Meeting Location: Lougheed Skytrain Station parking lot at 9:30am sharp. We'll then drive to Fort Langley.
