Happy February, Lethbridge! I want to begin by sharing some recent positive news on ambulances for our city and region.

At approximately 2:15 a.m., Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services crews responded from four stations with 28 members to a structure fire in the 200 block of 5 Street South. Upon arrival, the vacant building was showing visible flames from the upper levels and crews quickly worked to extinguish the blaze.

Highlights from the February 21, 2023, Lethbridge City Council meeting

​Downtown Lethbridge has a rich and storied history. With a diverse past of railways, coal mining, industry, commerce and residences – the area west of 5 Street South, between 3 Avenue South and Park Place Shopping Centre, may stand out more than others. In recognition of this assorted and unique collection of pastimes, the City of Lethbridge's Heart of Our City Committee, Historic Places Advisory Committee and the Lethbridge Historical Society have recently partnered to fund and produce a new historical interpretive sign.

Nationally on February 14, walks are held throughout various cities in memory of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people who have been lost or are missing. It's an opportunity for their loved ones to grieve, remember them and raise awareness of the disparity in the number of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people who die nationally every year. 

​The City of Lethbridge and Alberta Health Services (AHS) are adding two additional ambulances starting in April. This will improve Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times, keeping rural ambulances in their communities and ensuring people in the Lethbridge area get the care they need.
