Highlights from the June 27, 2023, Lethbridge City Council meeting

Reconciliation Lethbridge Advisory Committee (RLAC) and the City of Lethbridge are proud to launch the 2023 Orange Shirt Day Design Contest starting July 1, 2023. This contest invites local Indigenous artists to show their commitment to Reconciliation by creating an original design to be featured on this year’s orange shirts.

Single lane westbound now accessible via Scenic Drive off ramp. 

With limited parking around Henderson Lake Park, residents and visitors can use free Transit to avoid traffic when heading down to the Canada Day celebrations.

Effective immediately, the outside turning lane from Whoop Up Drive West onto Metis Trail West will be closed so crews can complete a catch basin repair.

Saturday, July 1, is Canada Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes that day and on Monday, July 3.

The proposed rezoning will continue to allow for the uses under the existing DC Bylaw and introduce the following new uses: restaurants, retail store, and mixed use dwelling. Bylaw 6405 will continue to include measures to preserve the existing building.

In recent years, the city of Lethbridge has seen an increase in the number of individuals experiencing homelessness, as well as the number of those unsheltered. As additional shelter capacity could result in fewer unsheltered individuals, Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously in favour to approve a new Shelter Development Strategy.

The numbers have been tallied – and the official 2023 Municipal Census results show that Lethbridge has a population of 106,550. This marks an increase of 5,068 (up 4.99 per cent, or 1.25 per cent per year) from the 2019 Municipal Census. Lethbridge is the third-largest city in Alberta based on Municipal Census data.
