Mayor Blaine Hyggen says the City’s next Capital Budget will be fully centred on needs rather than wants. At its Community Issues Committee (CIC) meeting on Wednesday, Lethbridge City Council took the first major step towards its next Capital Budget.

Council remains open to further negotiations and/or participating in a Provincial procurement process to maintain integrated emergency services. 

The City of Lethbridge is prioritizing safety, reliability and long-term affordability as it plans for the largest infrastructure project in the City’s history: significant upgrades at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Highlights and decisions from the May 12, 2026, meeting of Lethbridge City Council.
