Crews are working to repair an emergency stormwater main and have closed Mayor Magrath Drive South from 5 Avenue to 3 Avenue South to complete the repair work. 

The City of Lethbridge’s River Valley fire ban remains in effect. The wildfire danger in Lethbridge remains EXTREME. Ongoing heat, low humidity and wind are creating conditions that fuel intense wildfire behaviour. New wildfires can spread rapidly under these conditions.

Eligible individuals, community not-for-profit organizations and for-profit organizations have one week left to submit proposals for funding for initiatives aligned with the Community Wellbeing Call for Proposal (CFP) and Community Wellbeing and Safety Strategy (CWSS). 

With the continuation of the Whoop-Up Drive bridge rehabilitation project, crews will be working at night starting Monday, July 22, through Wednesday, July 24. Additionally, starting at 9 a.m. Monday until about 5 p.m. Tuesday, 28 Street South will be closed at Highway 3 (Crowsnest Trail) for water-related work.
