​Last year, Lethbridge faced one of the worst droughts in recent history. This lack of precipitation contributed to a significant increase of foxtails and grasshoppers in the community.

​The City of Lethbridge has been successful in securing $375,000 in grant funding through the Government of Canada's Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) to construct a new Inclusive and Accessible Play Space in Galt Gardens that will add to community vibrancy and the vitality of downtown by fostering active, social, educational, inclusive and accessible play opportunities.
