I’m not sure how long the people that complain about Langford’s growth or Stew Young’s being mayor have lived out here but I’ve spent almost 50 years growing up in Colwood/Langford and all we used to have for sports was the Juan de Fuca Rec Centre, and a couple of corner stores that closed at 9 p.m.

Every second home had a Trans Am in the front yard on blocks and a guy standing next to it saying “It’s gonna be nice when I fix it up.”

Since Stew has been mayor Langford has improved well beyond what was the foreseeable future.

The options the kids from age 3-18 have is unbelievable. It’s also a good reason 99 per cent of them are staying out of trouble. Come on. Can’t we all get along?
