City Council has unanimously passed a resolution to continue proactive steps in addressing water supply concerns and implementing strategic solutions to combat water scarcity. The action is in response to persistent drought conditions in southern Alberta, resulting in below-normal levels in every reservoir.

The recent extreme cold weather may have put a freeze on the regular routines of residents, but it certainly turned up the heat on several City of Lethbridge crews. Cold weather challenges gave the City’s Infrastructure Services department a frosty reception as they worked relentlessly over the 6 days of frigid temperatures to keep services and facilities running.

It was a paw-sitively fur-tastic 2023 for the critters and companions at the Lethbridge Animal Shelter.

From fetching new events to unleashing equipment upgrades, it was a year full of tail-wagging adventures to support operations at Community Animal Services (CAS).

With an estimated $1.5 million in savings for 2023, using Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) to procure goods and services for the City of Lethbridge has had a significant impact.

The City of Lethbridge, in partnership with the province and regional partners, is continuing proactive measures to address the current water supply concerns.

The City of Lethbridge is excited to announce the official launch of its City Project Webmap, a dynamic online platform designed to enhance accessibility and streamline information for residents. The map will provide residents with accurate and up-to-date information on road closures, facility closures and city projects and initiatives.

In the afternoon of December 26, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a structure fire on Iroquois Crescent West.

Today, Lethbridge City Council approved initial steps that would pave a new path forward for Lethbridge & District Exhibition and the Agri-food Hub & Trade Centre. In response to a letter of intent received from the Lethbridge & District Exhibition, City Council passed a resolution that will provide emergency interim resourcing to create stability and business continuity and explore a vision for the future.

Late in the day, we received confirmation from the Government of Alberta that they have declined our request to provide $1.04 million in capital funding to support the Agri-food Hub & Trade Centre.

City Council today received an update on the repurposing review of the Main, North, South and West pavilions as well as Heritage Hall and Safety City buildings located on the Exhibition grounds.
