SARB RAI
FOR COUNCIL TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY
Sarb has been a federal public servant with the CBSA for 27 years, and a sitting School Trustee. She has three children with her husband Roger, and her son is on the autism spectrum.
Sarb is committed to creating a community where every family feels safe, supported, and heard, bringing decades of public service experience, leadership in education, and a commitment to ensuring every voice is valued.
For me, public service has always been about people, protecting them, listening, and working together to build something better.

ABOUT SARB
Sarb has called Langley home for more than 25 years, where she and her husband Roger raised their three children. As a mother, public servant, and Township of Langley School Trustee, she understands the importance of making decisions that strengthen families and improve everyday life.
She has built a career serving Canadians with integrity, accountability, and professionalism. Having worked for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for nearly three decades, Sarb understands that thoughtful decision making, problem solving, and collaboration are essential to better outcomes. Her experience has given her the ability to lead with empathy while navigating challenging situations at work and at home.
Sarb's commitment to serving her community is deeply personal. As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, and having supported a child through bullying and mental health challenges, she understands firsthand the difficulties of navigating the education system. Those experiences led her to run for School Trustee in 2022 where she championed accessible and inclusive education, stronger supports for student mental health and well-being, and the expansion of school capacity to meet the needs of Langley's growing population.
She has also demonstrated leadership in fiscal responsibility when she voted against trustee pay increases to ensure resources remain focused on students and families. Sarb understands how local government works and is committed to listening, working collaboratively, and delivering real and practical results for the Township of Langley.
If elected, Sarb would become the first woman of South Asian descent to serve on Council in the Township of Langley. She hopes her journey inspires more women and young people to step forward, pursue leadership, and make a difference in their communities.
Sarb is running with Mayor Eric Woodward and the Progress for Langley team to help build a Township where families can thrive today and for generations to come. She is ready to bring her experience, compassion, and practical approach to Council while always putting people first.
