Langley – Langley school Trustee Tony Ward announced that he will seek a third term on the Langley Board of Education this October as part of the Langley Strong team.
Ward was first elected to the Board in 2018 and was acclaimed in 2022 to one of the two seats representing the City of Langley. He is seeking re-election as part of a Langley Strong trustee team that includes Board Chair Candy Ashdown, Trustees Charlie Fox and Holly Dickinson, and candidate Neil Turner.
The Langley School District is governed by a seven-member Board, with five trustees elected in the Township of Langley and two elected in the City of Langley.
For Ward, that makes the City’s representation at the Board table especially important.
“Langley City has just two of seven voices on the Board. Those two voices need to be prepared, engaged and willing to speak up. I’ve had the privilege of doing that for eight years, and I’m asking voters to give me the opportunity to keep doing it.”

Ward has served through a period of major growth in the Langley School District. The District now serves approximately 27,600 students across 46 school sites. Since September 2024, the District has opened or secured provincial approval for 5,030 new student spaces, representing approximately $514.5 million in provincial investment, including three new schools and the joint stɑtl̓əw̓ (stot-low) Middle School and Emery Dosdall Secondary campus in Willoughby.
