Lethbridge’s River Valley is home to a wide array of animals. Residents are never surprised to see deer, turtles or snakes. But there’s another type of serpent hiding in plain sight.

To prevent the spread of Dutch Elm Disease (DED) a province-wide pruning ban for all species of elm trees is in effect from April 1 to September 30, 2024. Pruning elm trees during this time exposes wounds that could provide entry sites for Elm Bark Beetles, a carrier of the DED fungus.

Efficiently watering trees ensures the urban forest will continue to thrive. This is especially important during periods of drought.

Earth Day is on the horizon! The City of Lethbridge is gearing up to celebrate and advocate for the environment. Please join us for a day of education and action Saturday, April 20 at Legacy Park with a range of activities planned for all ages.

Lethbridge has four designated skating areas. Ice conditions are checked at least once a week. Ice surfaces will be closed if conditions are unsafe for users. Ice conditions can change depending on temperature, precipitation, wind and the amount of sunshine. With Lethbridge's varying winter temperatures, it is important to stay safe and informed.

​We continually perform repairs and upgrades to the infrastructure and facilities in our City.  Planned and unplanned work is required to keep our city running smoothly and sometimes this results in a temporary disruption of service.

Beginning tomorrow, November 28, the Park ‘n’ Bark will once again be closed to the public to allow for the completion of the lighting project.
