Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a structure fire on Westside Drive at about 4:23 p.m. on Saturday, November 25.

It’s been a busy few weeks around City Hall and around Lethbridge. Last week, Lethbridge City Council met for three days, as our Economic and Finance Standing Policy Committee, for an overview of the current economic conditions and the impact they have on the City’s financial position and resources.

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.

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY!

The City of Lethbridge Waste Utility & Environment Department has for the last 25+ years offered the residents of Lethbridge a ‘Christmas Tree Recycling Program’. The Christmas Trees are picked up at each participating household and chipped into wood chips that are used in City parks. We would like to open up this fundraising opportunity to any interested youth groups in Lethbridge. In return for the delivery of the program, your youth group will receive $10,000 for the city-wide collection program.

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 City Council met as Economic and Finance Standing Policy Committee for three days from November 14 to 16 for an overview of the current economic conditions and the impact they have on the City’s financial position and resources. All recommendations from the Committee will be forwarded to City Council for potential approval at a regular meeting.
