The Government of Canada announced that the Township of Langley is receiving $25 million in federal grant funding to help build a new multi-purpose concert and performance hall at the Langley Events Centre.
The fully accessible hall will feature a net-zero design that exemplifies energy efficiency and climate resilience. It will host concerts, multicultural celebrations, Indigenous gatherings, school graduations, special ceremonies, conferences, and a variety of community events.
“So many members of our community have long advocated for a concert and performance hall. We are incredibly grateful to the Government of Canada for this transformative investment in Langley’s future and helping to bring this vision to fruition. This new space will be more than a venue for world-class arts and cultural events—it will be a community gathering place where our students can proudly cross the stage at high school graduations, and where residents of all ages can come together to celebrate creativity, achievement, and community spirit,” said Eric Woodward, mayor of the Township of Langley.
Work is already underway to begin a progressive design build process to finalize the facility’s size, scope, components and budget.
“The Concert and Performance Hall at Langley Events Centre will be a hub for collaboration, cultural celebration, and artistic expression for all people in the Fraser Valley. We will continue supporting community growth and connections through investments in sustainable infrastructure projects,” said Gregor Robertson, minister of housing and infrastructure and minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada.
