Lethbridge voters will start heading to the polls in just 15 days, with the voting period for the 2025 Lethbridge Municipal and School Election set to take place October 8-20. 

While the days are getting shorter with autumn officially starting next week, I want to begin by looking back at some of the late summer events in Lethbridge.

Highlights from the September 16, 2025, meeting of Lethbridge City Council

Throughout the past several months, the City’s Planning and Design department has connected with thousands of residents through a variety of outreach activities. These activities were guided by an engagement plan approved and supported by City Council.  

Lethbridge residents wanting to make a difference in their community are encouraged to apply to be on one of City Council’s Boards, Commissions and Committees (BCCs). A recruitment campaign for a variety of positions is now underway and applications will be open until October 24 – to coincide with the 2025 Municipal Election.

The City of Lethbridge is looking to hire several hundred workers to help conduct its 2025 Municipal and School Elections, set for October 8-20.

I want to begin this month by addressing the many, many calls, texts and emails I have received since the Whoop-Up Drive incident on August 6.

The City of Lethbridge is moving forward with critical upgrades to its Water Treatment Plant. This phase begins thanks in part to a $9.2 million grant from the Province of Alberta.

Highlights from the July 29, 2025, meeting of Lethbridge City Council

At its regular meeting on Tuesday, Council approved the allocation of one-time funding of $475,000 from the Municipal Revenue Stabilization Reserve (MRSR) to provide temporary resources to complete and implement its Economic Development Strategy as well as potential future development-based incentives.
