This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. We’re proud to recognize the Emergency Communications Officers in our PSCC who answer over 138,000 calls a year for Lethbridge and 22 nearby communities.

The PSCC was recently re-accredited as a Fire Accredited Centre of Excellence — one of just 63 worldwide.

Spring is in the air, which can only mean one thing: it’s time for some spring cleaning! 

Residential street sweeping starts Tuesday, April 8, and will continue every weekday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the next eight to 10 weeks, weather permitting. Signs will be visible starting today to alert motorists of soon-to-be-swept areas.

The community is invited to help shape the future of public art in Lethbridge.

The City is updating our Public Art Master Plan. Passed in 2012, the Plan recognizes public art as a key part of Lethbridge's culture. The update will reflect the city's growth, changing public expectations and new trends in public art and planning.

Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to have the Mayor’s Office again declare April 7 as Green Shirt Day. Mayor Hyggen says he wants to keep bringing this item to Council annually, rather than as a one-time declaration, to continually highlight Logan’s impact and the importance of talking to your family about becoming an organ donor.

City Council has approved a move on Tuesday, that saves more than $1.4 million in loan interest and initiates next steps in meeting the new provincially mandated recycling regulations.

City Council was provided an update from administration on the limited funding available in the next Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and the planning challenges that lie ahead.

With today being March 11, 3-1-1 day, it has now been six years since the City of Lethbridge launched its 311 service for the community.
