Today, Lethbridge City Council voted 7-2 in favour of entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lethbridge & District Exhibition (LDE). Subject to the Government of Alberta approving the proposed MOU, the agreement will create an interim governance structure comprised of City of Lethbridge and Lethbridge County administration.

City Council has unanimously passed a resolution to continue proactive steps in addressing water supply concerns and implementing strategic solutions to combat water scarcity. The action is in response to persistent drought conditions in southern Alberta, resulting in below-normal levels in every reservoir.

The recent extreme cold weather may have put a freeze on the regular routines of residents, but it certainly turned up the heat on several City of Lethbridge crews. Cold weather challenges gave the City’s Infrastructure Services department a frosty reception as they worked relentlessly over the 6 days of frigid temperatures to keep services and facilities running.

It was a paw-sitively fur-tastic 2023 for the critters and companions at the Lethbridge Animal Shelter.

From fetching new events to unleashing equipment upgrades, it was a year full of tail-wagging adventures to support operations at Community Animal Services (CAS).

Snow routes have been activated in response to heavy snow accumulation and more snowfall is in the forecast. As the community adjusts to the new service level and snow clearing is top-of-mind, the City of Lethbridge is sharing a few timely reminders: 

With an estimated $1.5 million in savings for 2023, using Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) to procure goods and services for the City of Lethbridge has had a significant impact.

The City of Lethbridge, in partnership with the province and regional partners, is continuing proactive measures to address the current water supply concerns.

The City of Lethbridge is excited to announce the official launch of its City Project Webmap, a dynamic online platform designed to enhance accessibility and streamline information for residents. The map will provide residents with accurate and up-to-date information on road closures, facility closures and city projects and initiatives.

The City of Lethbridge has regularly conducted a community survey since 2005.  The survey focuses on understanding citizens’ opinions towards local issues, their quality of life, municipal services, and City priorities.

As cooler weather sets in, the City of Lethbridge is reminding residents to reduce the rollout of their green cart to every other week until the spring.
