Get ready to spray, splash and smile!

With hotter temperatures on the horizon, the City of Lethbridge is ready to offer some cool support. Splash season kicks off on Friday, May 23, at 12 p.m.

As the weather heats up, road construction season follows suit.  

The City of Lethbridge’s Transportation Operations department has been completing minor road repairs since mid-April. With outdoor temperatures warming up, those efforts are moving into high gear. 

Due to the possibility of a strike at Canada Post, Lethbridge residents are encouraged to register for e-billing for their utility bills. This will ensure residents receive their bills on time, should there be a disruption in mail delivery. 

For those living in Residential Parking Permit (RPP) area of Zone 13, your permits are due for their annual renewal. Permits for Zone 13 – areas near Chinook Regional Hospital and the Coast Lethbridge Hotel & Event Centre – expire June 1, so those residents can now renew to avoid parking violations.  

Monday, May 19, is Victoria Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes.

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

Two water-related projects, on 13 Street North and 5 Avenue North, may impact northside commuters. 

A closed door helped contain a house fire in south Lethbridge.

Fire crews from three stations responded to the 1800 block of 18 Street South at around 2:10 p.m. Monday. 

The City is advising residents to exercise caution when using the river near Peenaquim Dog Park over the next 24 hours. 

This year’s Property Tax Notices are set to be sent out on Tuesday, May 13.
