Several candidates have put their names forward for Langford council, a far cry from the 2018 election where nine people ran for seven seats.
Blackwell says she hears from people they would like the rate of development to slow down in Langford.
She says she sees herself as a middle ground candidate between the slate and the Langford Now group, where she would like to see Langford continue on its current path like the slate would like, but believes that the scope of some of the projects should be scaled back. Both Szpak and Blackwell said they prefer running as independent candidates rather than as part of the slate or the group, because they do not want to feel like they are held to voting alongside those they campaigned with. Both of them say they were not approached by the slate to run alongside them.says it is not a slate, but it is endorsing candidates it believes supports its vision for the future of the city.
