Happy February, Lethbridge! I want to begin this month with the news that the City of Lethbridge is pleased to support the Government of Alberta, Lethbridge Housing Authority and the Blood Tribe Department of Health with the expansion of the Lethbridge Shelter, through an in-kind contribution of the property.

Highlights from the February 13, 2024, meeting of Lethbridge City Council.

“We’re very grateful to our partners at the Government of Alberta for providing the funding to assist in the creation and delivery of this program,” says Councillor, Jenn Schmidt-Rempel. “Building towards safer and healthier outcomes for our community is a top priority for Council. This program will work to support those goals and will be another valuable resource for those who need it.”  

Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to designate a new Municipal Historic Resource. The three-storey Whitney Block, located at 411 3 Avenue South, is a square, brick commercial building located close to Galt Gardens in the downtown core – and now becomes the 30^th Municipal Historic Resource in Lethbridge.

Scooters and e-bikes could be back in Lethbridge later this year. Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to continue to permit shared micro-mobility services in the city.

With many positive indicators for 2024, Lethbridge City Council and City Administration continue to work for you to help build and maintain a thriving business community in the city. The message is simple: we are open for business and development.

Today, Lethbridge City Council voted 7-2 in favour of entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lethbridge & District Exhibition (LDE). Subject to the Government of Alberta approving the proposed MOU, the agreement will create an interim governance structure comprised of City of Lethbridge and Lethbridge County administration.

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.
