Langford Council Putting its Financial House in Order

Keith Yacucha is a Langford City Councillor and an Economics instructor at Camosun College. Since moving to Langford in 2020, he has focused on enhancing transparency, public engagement, and long-term fiscal sustainability in the city. He aims to bring long-term strategic planning to the city and has been a key champion in realizing Langford’s first Strategic Plan and corresponding Master Plans to address the current poly-crisis.

In his academic role, Keith has been teaching at Camosun College since 2015, specializing in Economics, Econometrics, and Public Finance. He holds a BA from UBC Okanagan and an MA from the University of Victoria. His practical experience in public service enriches his teaching, providing students with real-world insights, while his academic experience similarly feeds back into his work in public service

Keith will speak about the financial picture the new Council inherited, the fiscal challenges faced including the YMCA, PFC, and their extreme embrace of Public Private Partnerships. Keith will finish the conversation with some positive about what is being done and "how we (I) see the city fiscally moving forward."
