Langley City council has approved $110,485.29 in grants for 48 non-profit and community organizations.
The 2016 grants range in size from a high of just over $12,000, for the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, to just over $100 for the Langley chapter of the Parkinson Society BC.
The list of agencies includes the Brookswood Baptist Church Homeless Feeding Program, Bard in the Valley, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley, the Canadian Centre for Manners and Civility, Douglas Park Community School Society, Langley Community Farmers Market Society, Langley Senior Resources Society, Langley Lodge and Sport Tourism.
