The City of Lethbridge, working together with Lethbridge Family Services, is making sure our newest neighbours feel right at home. The newcomer program initiative is all about helping new residents get to know their new community.

Beginning tomorrow at 9 a.m. the eastbound and westbound inside lanes will be closed on Whoop-Up Drive, east of the Scenic Drive overpass for electrical work.

Effective immediately, 10 Avenue South will be closed between 16 Street South and 17 Street South so crews can complete an emergency sewer service repair. This work is expected to be completed by the end of the day, November 23, weather permitting.

Beginning Monday, November 20, the Park ‘n’ Bark will be closed to the public for the installation of light poles and bases.

The light fixtures will be installed at a later date which will complete the project of lighting the park.

Lethbridge residents and motorists may recall the traffic incident in June this year that resulted in Whoop-Up Drive coming to a standstill for several hours. The incident provided City staff the opportunity to conduct a substantial review of the Whoop-Up Drive Emergency Traffic Protocol. A revised protocol has now been approved and activated by the City Manager to provide an enhanced response in the event of an incident.
