Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a commercial structure fire in the 1500 block of 2 Avenue South on Sunday, September 1, 2024, at approximately 6 p.m.

While we’re still enjoying summer weather, residents who live on snow routes are asked to consider an optional service that will be piloted this winter. In the first two weeks of September, the City will hand-deliver postcards to each home along snow routes with more information about the new Snow Route Windrow Assistance Service. This new service is designed to help residents who face mobility challenges when navigating windrows. 

Snow route residents are encouraged to learn about the service and if applicable, call 311 between September 16 -27 to register. The sign-up window is the only time residents can subscribe for the 2024/2025 winter season and no early sign-up will be available.

Temporary traffic delays are expected tomorrow, Wednesday, September 4, on the southbound lanes of Scenic Drive South. The section of roadway between 2 Avenue South to the westbound Whoop-Up Drive exit will be affected by moving, single-lane closures from 9 am – 2 pm. 

It’s a bad news/good news situation.

The bad news? It’s the final long weekend of summer 2024. And that means outdoor pools and spray parks are set to close for the season.

The good news? Mother Nature is giving us great conditions to enjoy the sendoff! Forecast highs are into the high 20s and low 30s for the entire long weekend.

As Labour Day is set to usher in the unofficial end of summer, one group of local students is already reminiscing about a memorable trip earlier this season. Five students aged 14-16 recently completed the 57th Saint-Laurent exchange. A delegation from Saint-Laurent, Quebec, first travelled to Lethbridge from July 10–17, followed by the Lethbridge delegation travelling to Saint-Laurent from August 7–14.

Monday, September 2 is Labour Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes.

The final long weekend of the summer is on the horizon. While many residents and visitors will flock to Henderson Lake Park, the City of Lethbridge is reminding everyone to be mindful of the Cyanobacteria advisory in effect for the lake.
