Article featured in BC Homes Magazine about Doug Rempel
	I have been working in the heating and ventilation industry and consulting to people building new homes for 30 years. Sustainability, good stewardship of natural resources and concern for the environment are my passion. In 1982, my wife and I built (and still live in) one of the most energy efficient R2000 homes in Canada. My other involvements relating to energy efficiency, comfort and health in the home include speaking on numerous radio talk shows, teaching workshops and appearing on CBC’s Code Green, a reality TV series which offered Canadian homeowners valuable information on how to reduce energy consumption in their homes. I have appeared on HGTV’s Healthy Home, on CKNW talk shows with Shell Busey, lectured at colleges and taught seminars for the Greater Vancouver Home Builder’s Association. Mike Masterton & Doug Rempel worked together at Solace Energy in Burnaby for 30 years advising folks how to build, renovate or upgrade with energy efficiency, comfort and health in the home. click here to read the BC Homes Magazine Feature

Fort Langley National Historic Site

Enclosed in a dramatic riverside stockade, the current incarnation of Fort Langley National Historic Site dates back to 1840. The fur trading post was rebuilt after an 1839 fire, and now features a striking combination of reconstructed and original buildings.

At its peak, Fort Langley sold produce to Russians in Alaska, shipped cranberries to California, and generated 2,000 barrels of canned salmon a year, much of which was exported to Hawaii. Today, visitors can touch soft beaver and black bear pelts, watch barrel-making and blacksmithing demonstrations, and chat with interpreters in period costumes. Circa 1858, Fort Langley became renowned as a jumping-off point for the Fraser River Gold Rush, and panning for gold here remains another fun experience for the entire family.

A historic highlight is the hilltop Big House, where Sir James Douglas proclaimed British Columbia a Crown Colony on November 19, 1858, and became the province's first governor. View vintage china, musical instruments, and other furnishings, and browse through a display upstairs on the local Kwantlen First Nations.

Fort Langley operated until 1886, and was declared a National Historic Site in 1955. It is open daily year-round (closed Dec 25 and 26, and Jan 31), and is directly adjacent to the historic village of the same name. Log on to the Parks Canada website on Fort Langley for more details.

The National historic site is a 10 minute walk from Fort Langley Bed and Breakfast.
