The City of Lethbridge invites the community to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day (NIPD) on Friday, June 21 with a day of events and entertainment.

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a fire at the 3000 block of 5 Avenue South at approximately 6:48 a.m. on Saturday, June 15.

Effectively immediately, the River Valley Fire Ban in Lethbridge has been lifted. Recent changes in weather conditions, including rainfall and higher humidity levels, have significantly reduced the fire risk in this area. 

Road improvement work continues along northbound University Drive West. Paving will begin the morning of Monday, June 17. The project stretches between McGill Boulevard and the Valley Road ramp.

The City of Lethbridge Parks & Cemeteries team is continuing a cherished tradition this Father’s Day. To help honour the memory of loved ones, visitors at Mountain View Cemetery will be gifted a gerbera daisy.

To accommodate the second annual Lethbridge Block Party on Saturday, June 15, the following road closures will be in effect starting at 7 a.m. that day: 6 Street South between 3 Avenue and 4 Avenue; 3 Avenue South between 5 Street and 7 Street; and 4 Avenue South between 6 Street and 7 Street.

Scheduled patching work will impact westbound traffic on Whoop Up Drive. The work begins Friday, June 14 at 9 a.m. and is expected to be completed by 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 15.

Traffic will be impacted as crews complete patching work along a small stretch of 6 Avenue South.

The project begins Thursday, June 13 at 9 a.m. Single-lane closures will be in effect in both directions between 10 Street and 11 Street South.

Get ready for an environmental education! The City of Lethbridge Parks & Cemeteries and Water, Wastewater & Stormwater teams are gearing up for three days of teaching and action.

For the past six summers, goats have controlled invasive weeds in select areas of Lethbridge’s river valley. Since the introduction of the program, more than 750 hectares of noxious plants have been grazed.
