Working together to set Lethbridge up for success is the focus of a new partnership agreement between the City of Lethbridge and the University of Lethbridge.

The multi-year effort to replace 10,000 manually read water meters resumes this week. The neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood project continues in the west Lethbridge community of Heritage Heights on Wednesday, April 2.

Work is underway to revive banks along the east lobe of Fairmont Pond.

The area has been hit by several floods over the years. The ensuing erosion has worn away significant amounts of the banks on the north and south sides of the pond.

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a structure fire at a multi-unit building on the 600 block of 3 Avenue South just before 3 a.m. on Saturday, March 29. 

Firefighters from four stations were dispatched. Crews arrived to find flames visible on a second-floor balcony. Firefighters quickly contained and extinguished the fire before it could spread throughout the structure.
