Memorial crosswalks will be placed at Langley legion entrance

The red-and-white markings will honour veterans, and be in place before Remembrance Day 2025

Article by Matthew Claxton – Langley Advance Times, July 9, 2025

Special crosswalks with silhouettes of soldiers will be painted at the Aldergrove Royal Canadian Legion this year, before Remembrance Day, Langley Township council has decided.

Council gave approval for the project, which was suggested last year by Councillor Barb Martens, at its Monday, July 7 meeting.

Martens said she has spoken to members of the local legion branch and understands they are excited by the project.

The rest of council was enthusiastic as well.

“I think this is a great way to recognize the contribution of veterans in Canada, especially cooperating with the Aldergrove legion, and I think this is just a way of showing everyone that here in the Township of Langley, we respect the sacrifices of our veterans,” said Coun. Tim Baillie.

Township staff said the new crosswalks will likely be completed in the next few weeks or month, but definitely before this year’s Remembrance Day ceremonies on Nov. 11.

According to the Township report on the project, the Township will spend $20,000 from a reserve fund to put new crosswalk markings across the three driveway entrances to the Aldergrove legion branch at 26607 Fraser Hwy.

The markings will use red and white stripes, and will include the silhouette of a soldier. 

Another $25,000 will be set aside every year starting in 2026 for maintenance of the markings, as well as for possible expansion of them into other areas of the Township.

A message from previous years.

We are so excited we can be together as a family, with our dad of 97 years. We have attended the Fort Langley service ever since it’s been held and we won’t miss this one. 

I believe our dad maybe the only WW2 vet left attending this service, so perhaps we could acknowledge him at the service. We as a family, are very much looking forward to this day.

My father is very emotional about attending the service tomorrow. At 97 he is reflecting on what he can of his life, but the memories he has no trouble recalling are the events of the war.

We honour him and others that gave their all to make our world a better place. We have been at the Fort Langley Service since the first one and we are not missing tomorrow. 

Today, We regret the passing of George Kenneth Smith and will miss him and remember his service. Dad achieved the rank of Captain in the RAF during the Second World War. He flew the Tiger Moth, various other training aircraft, the Halifax, the Airspeed Horsa Glider during the invasion of Arnhem nearing the end of the war.
