Nathan Pachal was mayor of the City of Langley from 2022 to 2026, after serving on council from 2016. In the October 17, 2026 election he received 2,411 votes, and Delaney Mack was elected. This page collects what the City and Pachal himself have published, plus local news. It is a neutral summary, not an endorsement or a review.
Background
The City’s mayor page says he advocates for affordable housing, transportation and green space in the region. It lists a report he wrote on the Agricultural Land Reserve in the south of the Fraser, “Decade of Exclusions?”, and says he co-authored “Leap Ahead: A transit plan for Metro Vancouver.” It also says he completed the SFU and City of Surrey Transportation Lecture Program in 2010.
On his long-running South Fraser Blog, he describes the site as sharing his advocacy and thoughts on Langley and Metro Vancouver over about two decades. The blog is now archived.
Previous service
The City’s page says he was first elected to council in a 2016 by-election and elected mayor in 2022. His blog states that he served as a councillor from 2016 to 2022 and as mayor from 2022 to 2026.
Roles and affiliations
Global News reported in March 2024 that he was a member of TransLink’s Mayors’ Council. The City’s mayor page, as we saw it, did not list board appointments, so we have not listed others.
