People/Subject

West Langley Community Hall

The original West Langley Community Hall was located near the intersection of 208th Street and 96th Avenue. It was built to provide local residents with a gathering place for social and sports activities. It was opened in 1934, extended in 1942 to add a kitchen, and again in 1972 to add a basement. Indoor plumbing was added in 1962. It burnt down on March 26, 1976. A new West Langley Community Hall was rebuilt about 150 yards east of the original site, beside West Langley Park, and was officially opened on November 5, 1977. The West Langley Community Hall Association was incorporated as a Society in 1947 and dissolved in 1997.
