Michael Pratt: Township of Langley councillor

Michael Pratt was re-elected to Township of Langley council on October 17, 2026, with 12,872 votes. He ran with the Progress For Langley slate. We could not read a campaign profile for him, so this page relies on the Township’s page, a Simon Fraser University article and local news.

Background

The Township’s page describes him as a lifelong Township resident, a master’s student in urban studies and a small business owner in the community; it does not name the business. A June 2025 Simon Fraser University article says he began the Master of Urban Studies program there in 2020, after a Bachelor of Commerce, and wrote a thesis on walkability in the Willoughby Town Centre.

The Langley Monitor reported in September 2025 that he had formally joined the Progress For Langley slate, and the Aldergrove Star’s election-night story noted he joined it in the last year. The Advance Times lists him as an incumbent who kept his seat.

Business and community affiliations

As listed on his Township page:

• Business ownership: a small business owner in the community (unnamed there). The SFU article says he runs an urban planning firm called the Mariemont Group.
• Boards and committees: member of the Agricultural Advisory Committee; director of the Langley School Board Foundation; director and founder of Langley Youth for the Fallen.
• Past roles: include the Recreation, Culture and Parks Advisory Committee, the Heritage Advisory Committee, coaching with the South Langley Basketball Association, and alternate seats on a CP community advisory panel and the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation.

Official disclosures: Elections BC publishes candidates’ campaign financing disclosure statements for local elections, due 90 days after the election, so the Township 2026 statements should appear there in early 2027. Councillors also file a statement of financial interest with the Township; ask the Township’s corporate office via the Mayor and Council page how to view it.

Previous council service

The Township’s page lists him as serving his first term. The SFU article says he was elected in 2022. The Advance Times reported him as an incumbent re-elected in 2026.
