I want to begin this month by addressing the many, many calls, texts and emails I have received since the Whoop-Up Drive incident on August 6.

What’s under the High Level Bridge could hurt you. 

That’s why Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services is working with Canadian Pacific Kansas City to improve safety in the Oldman River where it meets the iconic High Level Bridge. 

The Assets and Infrastructure Standing Policy Committee will be considering the lands within the University of Lethbridge South Outline Plan owned by the University of Lethbridge. The purpose of an outline plan is to provide detailed planning and engineering framework to facilitate the phased subdivision and development of a new neighbourhood. 

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place on all open fires within the City of Lethbridge’s River Valley. 

Some of the top bridge experts in Canada have been engaged and have advised the City of Lethbridge that Whoop-Up Drive remains safe for motorists.

Effective immediately, heavy load trucks (excluding standard pickups) are temporarily restricted from crossing westbound on Whoop-Up Drive. All heavy load trucks must use Highway 3. The restriction is being made out of an abundance of caution.

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a house fire in the 500 block of 9 Avenue North on Saturday, August 9. 

The City of Lethbridge is in the early stages of planning improvements to 5 Street South, between 1 Avenue South and 6 Avenue South. Known for its historic charm and vibrant local businesses, this downtown corridor is ready to be reimagined — and we want your input!
