Langley Township is considering a new horse racing facility that could replace both Vancouver’s Hastings Park and Surrey’s Fraser Downs.
The information comes from a letter from the Township of Langley to the BC Horse Racing Industry Management Committee. The letter was supplied to the Advance Times by a person who asked to remain anonymous.
Mayor Jack Froese confirmed the Township is exploring the idea, but said it is still early days…
According to the letter, council was to advise the British Columbia government and the B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) that the Township is interested in becoming a host local government, in partnership with the Kwantlen First Nation, for a gaming facility – specifically a race track.
