This is from June 2023, when the Township of Langley voted to present a motion at UBCM in September 2023. The motion was not debated, and was instead
referred to area association. This typically happens when a motion is seen as being too narrow in geographical scope. In this case the Township of Langley should be presenting the motion to the
Lower Mainland Local Government Association as it covers both Metro Vancouver (where the Township of Langley is) and the Fraser Valley Regional District (where Chilliwack is).
I haven't seen any news that the Township of Langley is pursuing this.
Edit: It looks like the Township of Langley is bringing the motion to the
upcoming LMLGA conference, but it also seems like the LMLGA Resolutions Committee is recommending that the resolution go to the Fraser Valley Regional District since it affects mostly the Fraser Valley:

The Committee would point out, however, that this resolution focuses solely on the Fraser Valley, as well as selected communities in Metro Vancouver located south of the Fraser River. As written, the resolution is regional in scope, and the absence of interurban rail service in the Lower Mainland has little impact on the rest of British Columbia. Because of the regional focus, the Committee recommends that this resolution be referred to the Area Association, which can engage in advocacy on this issue.
