^ Thanks for the update.

I visited the Langford stadium last month and it is a lovely park, but that current configuration is as weird as it gets. I don't know how that ever came into being in the first place. It will be great to see the hydro tower removed.

Also cool to see the CPL going to Langley. When I was in BC last month I attended a Van. Giants WHL game at the Langley Events Centre. I was impressed by how well supported the team was... my impression was that teams way out in the 'burbs tend to flounder somewhat. But there is clearly a strong local sports culture in Langley and I'm sure the CPL can build on that.

Looking at the CPL map in the article linked to above, it looks as though the league is growing nicely. Although I find it somewhat odd that it hasn't yet made its way into the Southern Ontario cities that appear to have the population to support the CPL and don't already have pro sports, e.g. London, K-W, Windsor. Seems to me that the CPL could do quite well there. They have certainly grabbed the attention of people in Victoria.
