<p>The naming might be confusing to non BC resident, as both the City and Township are both municipalities under the regional government, unlike other places where a township is the regional level.</p>

I'm a little new to OSM, recently I found that neither of the city<br clear="none">
boundaries for the Langley area showed up in searches for "Langley".<br clear="none">
The issue was that neither had any type of name entry with just "Langley"<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I added an alt_name=Langley to both of the boundaries myself:<br clear="none">

I was wondering if alt_name was the correct one to use for this. How to<br clear="none">
organize naming tags seems to be a regional thing.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">

Also when I brought this up in other channels it was recommended that I<br clear="none">
add the Langley place node (<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52555902" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52555902</a>)<br clear="none">
as a 'label' member to the relevant city border.<br clear="none">
However when I look around at other cities like Surrey and Vancouver I<br clear="none">
do not see this relation setup elsewhere.<br clear="none">
Thoughts?<br clear="none">
