The City of Lethbridge has opened a call for proposals to support projects that address identified gaps in the city, specifically focusing on preventing and reducing homelessness.

A series of recommendations from last month’s annual budget review have now been officially carried by Lethbridge City Council.

Preparations are already underway for the next municipal election, scheduled for October 20, 2025.

We wrap this series with Mayor Blaine Hyggen, who was first elected to Council in 2013, re-elected in 2017 and then won the Mayoral race in 2021.
