Mayor’s statement on 2023 Provincial Election

I would first like to congratulate both Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Rachel Notley for their contributions to this great province of ours. It was a hard-fought election as both main party leaders shared their visions for Alberta.

Congratulations to Lethbridge East MLA Nathan Neudorf and to Lethbridge West MLA Shannon Phillips for their victories locally.

It takes a great amount of courage and passion to put your name forth for public office. Thank you, candidates, for your determination and commitment to Alberta.

As always, Lethbridge City Council and I will continue to advocate for the supports we need in our city to best serve our residents. We are excited to begin working with our local MLAs and with the new Provincial Government. We will aim to schedule meetings promptly after the next Cabinet is formed to ensure election promises to advance Lethbridge’s priorities are followed up on.

-Mayor Blaine Hyggen
