Langley Arts Council kicked off its third annual Celebration of Culture series on Saturday, March 8, with a lantern workshop and African dance. Noma – born Nomathamsanqa Treatie Mkwananzi, now known as Nkwali – from the city of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, fell in love with the arts at the young age of seven, when she had her first major role as an extra in the movie 'Power of One' starring Morgan Freeman and Zimbabwe’s Alois Moyo, and from there she never looked back. "I didn't know at the time it was a [movie] set, and the old man who spoke [my language] was Morgan Freeman," she shared with an audience at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre. Find out more.

The Bank of Canada today reduced its target for the overnight rate to 2.75%, with the Bank Rate at 3% and the deposit rate at 2.70%. The Canadian economy entered 2025 in a solid position, with inflation close to the 2% target and robust GDP growth. However, heightened trade tensions and tariffs imposed by the United States will likely slow the pace of economic activity and increase inflationary pressures in Canada. The economic outlook continues to be subject to more-than-usual uncertainty because of the rapidly evolving policy landscape. After a period of solid growth, the US economy looks to have slowed in recent months. US inflation remains slightly above target. Economic growth in the euro zone was modest in late 2024. China’s economy has posted strong gains, supported by government policies. Equity prices have fallen and bond yields have eased on market expectations of weaker North American growth. Oil prices have been volatile and are trading below the assumptions in the Bank’s January Monetary Policy Report (MPR). The Canadian dollar is broadly unchanged against the US dollar but weaker against other currencies. Read More

The cost of meeting housing goals may be too high without significant investment reforms.  Meeting Ottawa’s aggressive housing construction goals will require more than $300 billion in additional financing each year until 2030, according to a new report from the Fraser Institute.

"To increase home building and restore business investment in key areas like technology to previous levels, Canada needs to become much more attractive to investors, both from within Canada and around the world," said Steven Globerman, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of the report.
