Because every little bit helps!
As City of Lethbridge employees, we’re always looking for ways to save money and be more efficient. It's important to us because we live here too.
We understand the affordability pressures everyone is feeling because we feel them in our own homes, and at work. We also understand that small changes add up to big benefits for all of us and that every little bit helps!
We’re proud to share the ways we’re working to keep life in Lethbridge affordable – for your family, and ours.
LED Lighting
What we did: By changing to LED lighting at City Hall and at our Fleet Building, we save $30K/year on utility costs.
Why it matters: Just like many families across Lethbridge, the City is also facing rising utility costs, and just like you, we’re finding smarter ways to conserve.
Our teams are reducing consumption, lowering operating costs and protecting residents from future rate pressures.
Every improvement helps us stretch tax dollars further while also caring for our environment.
Remounting Ambulances
What we did: Rather than replacing ambulances, we’re remounting them on a new chassis, saving $88K per unit. We’ve been able to use those savings for resources like new power stretchers.
Why it matters: City ambulances have a lifespan of approximately five years. By remounting ambulance boxes onto new chassis, we’ve been able to double the lifespan without the cost of a full vehicle replacement. This saves the department money, reduces waste and quickly adds reliable vehicles back to the fleet.
We’ve been able to reinvest these savings into additional resources, like new power stretchers. This improves care for residents and increases safety for our first responders, all at no additional cost to taxpayers.
Spitz Stadium Sponsorship
What we did: We secured a 5-year naming sponsorship for Spitz Stadium bringing in a total of $250K that goes directly back into maintaining this awesome facility.
Why it matters: Sponsorships reduce the burden on taxpayers by inviting community partners to share in the costs of public amenities — creating a stronger, more connected city.
In addition to Spitz Stadium, the City’s Sponsorship program has also secured significant naming sponsorships at the VisitLethbridge.com Arena and Cavendish Farms Centre. These all go towards reducing the operating costs for these community facilities.
