Summary

Nicole Whittington-Johnson presented the Chamber of Commerce quarterly report, saying local businesses have "increases in foot traffic" while noting economic pressures: tariffs are affecting businesses and some businesses are changing operations (Band Box Beauty will be closing; Jester's Keep will be moving). The presenter also reported that the 525 Highway kiosk has reopened and that "Langley was just recertified as a creative district."
Whittington-Johnson said the Chamber is creating new welcome signs for the city and that Langley Lights the Night will not be held this year but is hoped to return in 2026. She noted the next Chamber meeting will be a joint meeting with other Sound End chambers, including Clinton and Freeland.
