In a presentation from City Administration and the consultant firm of Deloitte, the Economic Standing Policy Committee (SPC) was briefed on governance options that will reposition the functions of Lethbridge & District Exhibition (LDE) to better serve the community.

This week marks Emergency Preparedness Week, a national campaign that encourages Canadians to take proactive steps in getting ready for emergencies and making preparedness part of their everyday life. 

The 2025 theme – “Be Prepared. Know Your Risks!” – urges residents to learn about the hazards most likely to affect their area and take simple actions to reduce the impact of potential emergencies. 

Working together to set Lethbridge up for success is the focus of a new partnership agreement between the City of Lethbridge and the University of Lethbridge.

The multi-year effort to replace 10,000 manually read water meters resumes this week. The neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood project continues in the west Lethbridge community of Heritage Heights on Wednesday, April 2.

The community is invited to help shape the future of public art in Lethbridge.

The City is updating our Public Art Master Plan. Passed in 2012, the Plan recognizes public art as a key part of Lethbridge's culture. The update will reflect the city's growth, changing public expectations and new trends in public art and planning.

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.

The City of Lethbridge was pleased last week to learn about a specific area of the 2025 Alberta Budget: the restoration of Grants in Place of Taxes (GIPOT). Properties belonging to the Government of Alberta are exempt from municipal taxation. To account for this, municipalities are paid a GIPOT on eligible properties within their boundaries. Starting in 2025-26, GIPOT funding will be paid to municipalities at 75 per cent of the property tax amount that would be owed, equal to $55 million. Next year it will increase to 100 per cent.
