With a direct tie-in to the 2023-2026 City of Lethbridge Operating Budget, approved in November 2022, property tax rates for 2025 have now been set and notices will soon be sent to property owners in the city.

On behalf of Lethbridge City Council, I want to congratulate Lethbridge MP Rachael Thomas on her re-election Monday night. We also congratulate Mark Carney in his election as Prime Minister of Canada. Rachael has a proven history of public service, and we wish her the best as she is set to enter her fourth term representing Lethbridge in Ottawa.

I want to begin by extending my gratitude to all those who contributed to support for the families impacted and displaced by the devastating house fires on the westside last weekend.

Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to have the Mayor’s Office again declare April 7 as Green Shirt Day. Mayor Hyggen says he wants to keep bringing this item to Council annually, rather than as a one-time declaration, to continually highlight Logan’s impact and the importance of talking to your family about becoming an organ donor.

Layers in the morning and windows down in the afternoon – welcome to March and spring in Lethbridge. The first topic I want to address this month is the wonderful recent news from the Lethbridge Police Service that crime in our city decreased by 16 per cent in 2024. 

City Council has approved a move on Tuesday, that saves more than $1.4 million in loan interest and initiates next steps in meeting the new provincially mandated recycling regulations.

It is now less than seven months until the beginning of the 2025 Election Period in Lethbridge – and preparations are well underway.
