A comprehensive poll was conducted, late 2025 regarding the much talked about issue of Municipal / City amalgamation within Metro Vancouver. The issue of a “Mega-Amalgamation” was evenly split which wasn’t surprising however the results of the Langleys tell a different result!
In my January 5th, 2026 www.langleywatchdog.com Blog Post “What are the REAL facts in the Langley City vs Langley Township relationship…. Why should you care? Why NOW is the time to care? I explain in detail why it makes abundant sense for the two Langleys to amalgamate concluding in a democratic way of making that decision. The result of the following poll adds credence to that initiative – Let the citizens decide!
The following is extracted from a ResearchCo – A Nov. 27th, 2025 Mario Canseco Press Release https://researchco.ca/2025/11/27/amalgamation/ stated in part:
In the online survey of a representative regional sample, 42% of Metro Vancouverites think the amalgamation of all municipalities into one is a “very good” or “good” idea, while the same proportion (42%) consider it “bad” or “very bad”.
“Residents of the City of Vancouver boast the highest level of support for the creation of an amalgamated Metro Vancouver (46%),” says Mario Canseco, President of Research Co. “The appetite for full amalgamation drops across all other regions.”
More than two-in-five residents of Surrey and White Rock (44%), the North Shore (43%) and four Fraser Valley municipalities (41%) regard the “mega-city” idea positively. The results are lower in Richmond and Delta (39%) and in Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities (32%).
Metro Vancouverites aged 18-to-34 and aged 35-to-54 are more supportive of the creation of a “mega-city” (47% each) than their counterparts aged 55 and over (34%).
The survey also asked Metro Vancouverites about six smaller amalgamation proposals.
Seven-in-ten Metro Vancouverites (70%) think it is a “very good” or “good” idea for the Township of Langley and the City of Langley to merge into one municipality, while 62% feel the same way about a city encompassing Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
Residents of these four Fraser Valley municipalities are particularly welcoming of these two amalgamation proposals, with 68% being in favour of uniting the Township of Langley and the City of Langley and 67% supporting a merger involving Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
More than half of Metro Vancouverites (54%) view a possible merger of the City of Surrey and the City of White Rock in a positive light—including 57% of respondents who reside in these two cities.”
“Methodology: Results are based on an online survey conducted from November 14 to November 16, 2025, among 1,501 adults in Metro Vancouver. The data has been statistically weighted according to census figures for age, gender and region in Metro Vancouver. The margin of error—which measures sample variability—is +/- 2.5 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty.”
