LANGLEY - The City of Langley is pleased to announce the launching of a new online service called the "Langley City Express", an opt-in e-mail system that promises prompt delivery of City bulletins to subscriber e-mail addresses. Mayor Peter Fassbender states that "this initiative is a means of keeping our residents more connected to what is happening in the community". He continues by saying that "this movement is in response to feedback from the 2007 Community Survey, in which 12% of respondents indicated e-mail as their preferred method of communication with the City." The survey also found that 45% of the respondents had used the City's website in the past year, up from 33% in 2004.

In addition to being the most efficient way for Langley City residents to receive bulletins, the Langley City Express will also benefit residents from neighboring communities, making information regarding City of Langley community events and recreation programs more readily accessible to them.

Visitors to the City's website can subscribe to one or more groups and receive bulletins by e-mail. The subscriber groups currently available for subscription are: City Newsletter, Community Events, Langley Youth Services, Press Releases and Recreation Guide.
