As Labour Day is set to usher in the unofficial end of summer, one group of local students is already reminiscing about a memorable trip earlier this season. Five students aged 14-16 recently completed the 57th Saint-Laurent exchange. A delegation from Saint-Laurent, Quebec, first travelled to Lethbridge from July 10–17, followed by the Lethbridge delegation travelling to Saint-Laurent from August 7–14.

Monday, September 2 is Labour Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes.

The final long weekend of the summer is on the horizon. While many residents and visitors will flock to Henderson Lake Park, the City of Lethbridge is reminding everyone to be mindful of the Cyanobacteria advisory in effect for the lake.

Traffic signal work will cause traffic delays at a busy intersection on Thursday, August 29.

Two of three southbound lanes of Mayor Magrath Drive South, at 5 Avenue South, will close at 5 a.m. Weather permitting, the work is expected to be complete by 5:30 p.m.

The weekly Water Wednesday series provides information, conservation tips and expert analysis on all things ‘water’ in the Lethbridge area. 

Tomorrow, Thursday, August 29, 2024, motorists are advised to expect temporary lane closures as follows:

• Whoop-Up Drive - single lane closure on westbound outside lane. Guardrail work will take place between 6:00am - 3:00pm.
• Scenic Drive South – moving single lane closure along the northbound lanes. Roadway surveying will occur between 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. 

Investigations are underway into two separate residential fires.

“You didn’t have to ask Neil for help. If he saw you needed assistance, he was right there. Often with a smile and encouragement.”

Kind words from Peter Burns, remembering his neighbour Neil Talbot. Peter nominated Neil posthumously, as part of the City’s Mighty Neighbours: Summer Edition program.

The final task of the Whoop-Up Bridge rehabilitation project is ready to proceed.

Crews will be back on the westbound lanes of the bridge tonight, August 20 at 9 p.m.
