Many helped in restoration of Hope carriage house

It has been a co-operative effort to restore the Hope estate carriage house.

Editor:  I would like to make a small correction to the article “Century-old carriage house restored in Fort Langley,” (The Times, Feb. 19).

The owner of the carriage house and the property it sits on is Carlill, Carbolic Smokeball Corporation.  It is a company incorporated in 1978, with 17 shareholders. While Dale LaVerne and Margot McKenzie are shareholders in CCS Corporation, there are also 15 other shareholders, many of whom have worked hard with fundraising, planning and organizing the exterior restoration of the Hope Carriage House.

It has truly been a co-operative effort. Thanks should also be extended to the Township of Langley and the Langley Heritage Society, as well as Landstone Homes and Centra Windows.

With the care and respect the old building is now receiving, we hope it will be still standing 100 years from now as a reminder of the history of Fort Langley.

Margot McKenzie,
