Lethbridge is set to come alive with the sound of revving engines this weekend as beloved Street Wheelers events return. While motorists should be aware of upcoming road closures, there’s plenty to see in this celebration of classic cars and community spirit.  

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

Construction on the Whoop-Up Drive/Scenic Drive Interchange Improvement is moving into its next phase on July 8. Work shifts to the 400 block of Scenic Drive South.

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place for all open fires in the City of Lethbridge River Valley. 

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a commercial structure fire near the intersection of Highway 3 and 5 Avenue North at approximately 11:10 a.m. on July 6.

Beginning tomorrow, the City of Lethbridge is taking traffic safety to the next level with the launch of a year-round traffic safety message campaign.

A Sunday outing on the Oldman River became a dangerous emergency when six boaters were caught near the weir during high-water conditions. Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to the weir on the evening of July 5 with crews from four stations, eight emergency apparatus and 18 firefighters. 

Residents are urged to stay away from the Oldman River. Significant rainfall has again caused the river levels to rise quickly.

Due to asphalt paving construction, 4 Avenue South, from 34 Street South to WT Hill Boulevard South, will be closed from 6 p.m. June 30 until the morning of July 2.
