Langley City Council Approves Accessible Communication Boards for Parks

November 4th, 2025, City of Langley

Langley City is taking a significant step toward accessibility with plans to install Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) boards at local parks.

Developed by Accessibility Advisory Committee member Andrea Castro, these innovative boards will allow people with limited or no verbal communication abilities to express themselves using pictures.

Originally designed for individuals with autism, PECS boards can benefit anyone who faces communication challenges.

Council has approved applying for a grant to install the first board at either Douglas Park or City Park.

The initiative represents a thoughtful approach to making public spaces more inclusive for all residents, ensuring that everyone can participate in community activities regardless of their communication abilities.
