A season of gratitude, hope and togetherness is upon us

AT THE LEGISLATURE
Nathan Neudorf – MLA for Lethbridge East
Dear friends and neighbours,
As Christmas approaches, it’s a time to reflect on the year that has passed and look forward with hope to the opportunities ahead. This season, more than ever, we are reminded of the strength and resilience of our Lethbridge community.
During this season of giving, let us remember the power of kindness and generosity. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply offering support to a friend or neighbour, we have the ability to lift one another up and create a stronger, more compassionate community.
Lethbridge shines brightly during the holidays, not only with festive lights and decorations but also with the spirit of togetherness that defines our city. Programs like Christmas Hope embody this spirit, bringing six local agencies together to ensure that less fortunate members of our community feel the joy and hope of the season. This partnership of the Interfaith Food Bank, Lethbridge Food Bank, Lethbridge Family Services Angel Tree, Volunteer Lethbridge, The Salvation Army, and My City Care’s Shop of Wonders pools resources to reach more families, demonstrating what can be achieved when we work together.
Innovative initiatives like the Giving Machines at Park Place Mall provided yet another way for our community to give back, allowing residents to support local charities with ease. These efforts highlight the heart of Lethbridge, a city that comes together to care for its people. From cherished family traditions to community events, there is so much that makes this time of year special.
This Christmas, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the people of Lethbridge-East. Serving as your MLA is an honour, and I am constantly inspired by the perseverance, innovation, and kindness that I see every day. As we celebrate, I encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the many blessings we share and to think of those who may need extra support during this time.
Looking forward to the New Year, I remain optimistic about the future of our city. Together, we can tackle the challenges we face and continue building a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Lethbridge is a city of possibility, and by working together, we can make 2025 a year of progress, hope, and shared success.
To every resident of Lethbridge-East, I wish you a Merry Christmas filled with joy, warmth, and meaningful connections. May the New Year bring health, happiness, and prosperity to you and your loved ones.
Thank you for being the heart of our incredible community.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No open pit coal mining, no provincial police force. no APP (hands off our CPP), properly funding health care and all education including post secondary, reinstating insurance and electricity caps, properly funding urban and rural municipalities, the UCP not catering to their ultra right wing redneck base, stop unfair taxation, stop privatizing our parks…on and on, the UCP….hope and giving?
