Mayor's statement on proposed 2026 Federal Budget

It will take some time to review the entire scope of the proposed 2026 Federal Budget, including discussions with our Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, to see the full impact.

As always, City Council will continue to advocate for the supports we need in our city to best serve our residents.

We need to understand the details, but it is encouraging to see national-level commitments toward infrastructure, housing and affordability measures. We are hopeful that Lethbridge will be seriously considered for a fair share of any funding allotments.

Our City Council and Administration will look forward to working with the Federal Government in the coming weeks and months to look at all avenues that may be available.

-Mayor Blaine Hyggen
