Langford considers ending artificial turf program on city boulevards
Langford city council will soon vote on whether to keep installing artificial turf along city boulevards, or go back to using sod.

“This is the week that we finally get some consecutive days with calm, warm and dry conditions. While the start of March break is a little unstable the middle and back half will be great overall. Showers will continue to be scattered through the southern half of the Island tonight and into tomorrow morning and then some activity into Tuesday night. Wednesday will see a nice change with a ridge of high pressure moving in and giving us the spring weather we’ve been waiting for. Temperatures look to hit the double digits for a few days and sunshine will be the main feature into the weekend. Saturday will see rain return for some spots but it won’t be very wide spread. Spring is finally springing!”
