The numbers have been tallied – and the official 2023 Municipal Census results show that Lethbridge has a population of 106,550. This marks an increase of 5,068 (up 4.99 per cent, or 1.25 per cent per year) from the 2019 Municipal Census. Lethbridge is the third-largest city in Alberta based on Municipal Census data.

When it opens later this year, the new Galt Gardens Inclusive and Accessible Play Space will also address a notable gap in recreation and play opportunities within a 10-minute walking distance of Downtown Lethbridge. Construction will begin soon, with fencing set to be put up in early June.
