Calling all parents who are looking for a safe and cool way to chauffer their kids to their summer adventures! Lethbridge Transit staff will be at the Lethbridge Farmers’ Market this Saturday sharing information and tips for first-time riders, or anyone wanting to learn more about using the public transit system.

Motorists will encounter single-lane closures on University Drive West tomorrow, July 18, 2024, over the pedestrian tunnel adjacent to the Father Leonard Van Tighem School property. Lane closures will apply to northbound and southbound traffic between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm while road patching is completed. Two-way traffic will be maintained with signage and traffic control measures. 

Beginning July 16, 2024, a four-way stop will be used to control traffic at the Stafford Drive North and 5 Avenue North intersection, while intersection improvements are underway. 

Milling work along 24 Avenue South, west of 43 Street South, will result in traffic impacts on Monday, July 15.

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place on all open fires in the Lethbridge’s river valley.

As we head deeper into the hot months of July and August, the City of Lethbridge is sharing a reminder of City resources available to help residents stay cool and safe.

The application deadline is looming for those residents looking for an opportunity to apply to the Community Wellbeing Advisory Board (CWAB).
