Langford Lake Beach Park — Attraction in Langford

So sad to hear of a drowning of a young lad at Langford lake this week in Mid June.

As a result the peace officers got involved and I was found to be within my right to be there. For some reason the kid neglected to tell his dad i had brought my kid down. It's pretty pathetic when no one can take there kid to a park at a beach without the risk of being accused of...
