The City of Lethbridge is celebrating Environment Week from June 4 – 10 by inviting residents to take part in planning for the future.

The Climate Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan survey is now open for residents to provide their feedback on how we can adapt to changing climates in Lethbridge.

As a city in the heart of the prairies, trees are not naturally occurring, apart from Cottonwoods in the River Valley. Through continuous education, care and dedicated management, Lethbridge has an urban forest we are very proud of. Lethbridge has an impressive tree canopy with over 47,000 public trees in parks and open spaces and at lease the same number of private trees.

Water main replacement work begins this morning along 2 Avenue South between Scenic Drive and 5 Street South. This will temporarily close sections of the road as work is completed.

Motorists are advised the east side of the intersection at Red Crow and Jerry Potts Boulevard West will be closed starting Monday, June 5.

Motorists are advised the outside southbound lane of Scenic Drive North at the Highway 3 turn-off area will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, June 5 for approximately 5 hours.
