Highlights from the November 3, 2025, meeting of Lethbridge City Council.

After a busy few weeks with the 2025 Municipal Election, Swearing-In Ceremony and the start of orientation, this Lethbridge City Council has now made its first decisions together.

Do you own a business, run an organization or manage an institution in Lethbridge? The City of Lethbridge is encouraging you to fill out your mandatory waste diversion report for 2025.

City Council today ratified a new 2- year collective agreement with the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local #987.

The public is invited to join veterans and dignitaries in a raising of the poppy flag at 1 p.m. Tuesday, November 4, outside Lethbridge City Hall. This will be followed by the official unveiling of the Veteran Commemorative Crosswalk located across from the Cenotaph.

On Tuesday, November 11, the Lethbridge Remembrance Day Committee has two concurrent 2025 Lethbridge Remembrance Day Services.

For the past 30 years, the City of Lethbridge has partnered with local youth groups to ensure that Christmas trees continue to give after the holiday season. More than 1.5 million kilograms (approximately 95,000 Christmas trees) have been diverted from the landfill since the program began.

As clocks “fall back” this weekend, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services reminds residents to take the opportunity to check and maintain their smoke alarms and prepare their homes for the colder months ahead. 

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place on all open fires within the City of Lethbridge’s River Valley. 

Lethbridge’s new City Council is now on the clock. In a Swearing-In Ceremony held Monday afternoon at Lethbridge City Hall, the Oath of Office was administered for each of the nine members of the 2025-2029 Lethbridge City Council: Mayor Blaine Hyggen and Councillors Al Beeber, Mark Campbell, Belinda Crowson, Rajko Dodic, Rufa Doria, Ryan Parker, Jenn Schmidt-Rempel and Ryan Wolfe.

A meaningful tribute is taking shape in the heart of the city.

The City of Lethbridge will install a commemorative Remembrance Day/Veterans Crosswalk at the intersection of 4 Avenue South and 10 Street South.
