A statement from Councillor John Middleton-Hope regarding the Lethbridge-West byelection.

When did Lethbridge become a city? Where did we get our name from? What is someone from here called? As November 20 to 26 is Canada History Week, we thought we’d share some background on our city, from its traditional land to its relationship with coal and agriculture, to the High Level Bridge, to being a campus community and its place as Alberta’s Gateway To Opportunity.

The Government of Alberta is implementing changes to the Regulated Rate Option (RRO). As of January 1, 2025, the RRO will be known as the Rate of Last Resort. 

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY!

The City of Lethbridge Waste Utility & Environment Department has for the last 25+ years offered the residents of Lethbridge a ‘Christmas Tree Recycling Program’. The Christmas Trees are picked up at each participating household and chipped into wood chips that are used in City parks. We would like to open up this fundraising opportunity to any interested youth groups in Lethbridge. In return for the delivery of the program, the successful youth group will receive a $10,000 honorarium for the city-wide collection program.

We invited all current Council members to share their thoughts on the first three years of this term. Next up in this series is Councillor John Middleton-Hope. The first-term Councillor ran a successful campaign his first time out as a candidate for City Council in 2021.
