City of Langford

Live the lifestyle.

Women's Auxillary

The Women's Auxiliary was established in the early 1950s and was first composed of firefighters' wives. They held dances, teas, bake sales, craft sales and the like to finance the purchase of a variety of furnishings for the Firehall, Communications Centre, and the ambulance when it was manned and operated by the Langford Fire Department.

Now, the Women's Auxiliary is open to all women living in the City of Langford. Our duty continues to be to raise funds for and assist the Langford Volunteer Firefighters Association.

Joining the Woman's Auxiliary

This is a chance to be part of an energetic and effective group that contributes to Langford's growing community in a tangible and rewarding way.

In addition to the opportunity to support the volunteer firefighters, each member of the Auxiliary is given a Level 1 Food Safe Course. Throughout the year there are opportunities to enrol in first-aid courses relevant to the Auxiliary.

If you are interested in joining this group and can volunteer some time, or for more information contact Langford Fire/Rescue at (250) 478-9555.

The Women's Auxiliary meets the second Tuesday of each month, at 7:00 pm at #1 Hall located at 2625 Peatt Road.
