Southern Alberta is the traditional land of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) people who called Lethbridge ‘Sikoohkotoki,’ meaning Black Rock because of the coal they found. When the development of drift mines hit, the name Coalbanks was used. Since 1885, Lethbridge has been the official name. On November 29, 1890, the Town of Lethbridge in the North-West Territories (Alberta became a province in 1905) was officially incorporated. As such, November 29, 2025, marks the 135th anniversary of Lethbridge.

The City of Lethbridge is activating snow routes as of 10 a.m., Saturday, November 29.

Unregulated electric dirt bikes are colliding with community safety and carving up Lethbridge’s River Valley.

In recent months, police have noticed more electric dirt bikes (e-dirt bikes) being used on trails in the River Valley and on city streets.

Starting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, November 25, all three lanes of westbound Whoop-Up Drive will re-open for the first time since early August.

With the drop in temperatures and snow arriving today, residents are encouraged to adjust their driving habits to the winter conditions. To help keep Lethbridge moving during winter months, the City of Lethbridge’s Transportation Operations plows and sands roads regularly on a priority system.
