Farmland or Overpass

Metro Vancouver Daily Buzz!!! This issue has been creating some buzz in Langley for a while. I don't exactly understand why the majority of Langley Township counselors would vote in favor of an overpass here when there is so much opposition to it. Am I missing something? I guess I don't understand the issues.

I really don't like Mayor Green's explanation in this video that it will eventually come out of the Agricultural Land Reserve anyway. Really? Still doesn't make it the right thing to do. See CBC News Video: Click Here

Trinity Western University Buzz

METRO VANCOUVER DAILY BUZZ!!!: We currently have a couple of exchange students staying with us from Argentina. Their time here is coordinated by the ESLI program at Trinity Western University (TWU). The campus was buzzing this morning so we thought we’d give them some buzz today. Did you know that TWU is Langley’s largest employer?

I think the stat TWU is most proud of is this: “Canada's most "enriching educational experience" according to Maclean's ranking of the National Survey of Student Engagement. Highest rating in quality of education for four consecutive years in the Globe and Mail's 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Canadian University Report – the only university to achieve this result.” See http://www.twu.ca/
