First Stop...Langley BC, Canada

Brent's introduction to life in Canada came in the Township of Langley BC, Canada. The Township of Langley is located in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is bounded on the west by the City of Surrey, on the north by the Fraser River, on the east by the City of Abbotsford, and on the south by the Canada-U.S. boundary. It comprises 122 square miles and is home to just over 100,000 people.
The Township of Langley was one of the first municipalities in the province to be incorporated - on April 26, 1873. It has its roots in Fort Langley which is the birthplace of British Columbia and has grown from a farming and fishing community dependent on the Fraser River for transportation and livelihood to one of the fastest growing municipalities in the Lower Mainland. In 1827, the Hudson's Bay Company established the first Fort Langley at Derby Reach on the Fraser River. There on November 19, 1858, Sir James Douglas read the proclamation creating the colony of British Columbia.
The picture of the "Coat of Arms", granted to the Township of Langley in 1998, embodies components of key players - the Hudson's Bay Company & the Aboriginal people - whose historic roles have made Langley's history unique.

So there is quick background of the first place Willy called "Home" in Canada. Pictures of Willy in Langley still to come.
