The Galt Museum & Archives (Akaisamitohkanao'pa) is taking strides for a more sustainable future. In coordination with the City of Lethbridge, museum staff are excited to announce that its new programming cargo van is an all-Electric Vehicle (EV). The van was recently purchased through the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC), which is a partnership of Alberta Municipalities, Rural Municipalities of Alberta and the Government of Alberta.

The City's Encampment Strategy is now in full operation and seeing success with the support of outreach services and a coordinate response plan. 

The City of Lethbridge is partnering with Slow Your Roll and the YMCA of Lethbridge to promote upcoming changes aimed at creating safe and consistent speed zones across the community.

The City of Lethbridge’s Community Social Development (CSD) team is responsible for the administration and monitoring of provincial and federal funds to prevent and address social issues and needs in our municipality. 

As the weather heats up, be sure to cool off with one of four new drinking water stations as part of a pilot project around the city.

As seven new vans hit the road, residents and transit users will notice a new look to Lethbridge Transit’s fleet.

As Electric Vehicles (EV) continue to increase in traffic volume, the need for charging stations has similarly risen. Recognizing this, the City of Lethbridge has recently installed 22 new EV charging stations at four strategic sites across the city. They are open to the public and available for use as of today.

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.
