It might seem too early to be talking about snow, but the City of Lethbridge is busy preparing for what Old Man Winter might bring our way, including preparing residents for snow routes.

The September 11 memorial parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Fire Station #1, 207 4 Avenue South. Led by the Honour Guard and Pipe Band, uniformed members will march east along 4 Avenue South through downtown to Southminster United Church, where the memorial ceremony will follow.

Beginning today, 5 Avenue North is closed between 12 Street and 12B Street North while crews complete road maintenance.
