Fort Langley

This one was founded by a Mormon.

The second one I went to was founded by a Christian and gentleman, a Dutch gentleman out of Fort Langley, British Columbia.

Okay, but still a mostly substance abuse treatment center?

Correct.

We are going to go to a brewery, and go to the pumpkin patch and see all the farm animals, and I'm very excited.

I also really want to go to Fort Langley.

Cozy Fort Langley day.

Cozy Fort Langley day.

It's not a Vancouver fall without it.

No, it's not.

where are we? Well, you tell them.

Our favorite place in the world, Fort Langley, British Columbia, home of, wow, dozens and dozens, 99.9% of Hallmark movies end up shooting something here.

And we're going to feature a lot of that on today's episode.

And it's also our very first video format podcast episode.

That would have been 1920, 21, 22.

And now, Nothing's changed.

We still see a lot of movies and we're going to feature, we've got some behind this, not behind the scenes on the movies, but behind our scenes and behind the scenes of Fort Langley.

And we actually found a couple of movies shooting right here while we're here.

This one is for you.

Since you live right near historic Fort Langley, we are so excited to share this story.

And a big hello to Reid and Smith, who asked for the history of the fur trade in Canada.

This one is for you both.

Where exactly were they taking all this stuff? To forts like Fort

Langley.

In 1827, a fur trader named James Macmillan built Fort Langley, about 48 kilometres east of what is now Vancouver, right on the edge of the Fraser River.

Was

as of today.

But yeah, then I met a community of musicians out in Langley where I grew up at a cafe and it was like kind of like a little cafe wa situation where it was like all these like folk and punk kids that like we're just sharing songs and doing these open mics and through that I met a group of guys.

We started a band, my first band, The Polished Rocks, which was like a psych band.

But you were now playing guitar.

well i don't even know i think i think i was so young and naive

yeah i

was like you know just just trying to like be a part of something and and and find a place in the world because i was kind of lost and and yeah and then i found this group of people and we started i was also listening to like yeah sid barrett's pink floyd a lot of like early like brian jones stones and like psych stuff and and early pre-war blues and you know wanted to do the jangly uh guitar thing so yeah i started a band and we all moved in together into this big log cabin, six-bedroom log cabin on two and a half acres out in Langley that we call the Dead Flower Family Cabin.

Wow! What was that like?

I am so excited to share this episode with you.

I had the opportunity to sit with Steph Davis and Laura Bull from Shoreline Counseling Group Practice out in Fort Langley.

And we talked all about culture building as part of a group practice.

We really spent a lot of time talking about leadership and the intersection between leadership and culture building.

So that will be one to watch as well.

Well, Woodward has been a very prominent developer in Fort Langley itself.

And as mayor, has engaged in quite a different approach to infrastructure, which is to front end load the expenditures to try to support future development.

That's how he would put it.
