City council should rescind Enmax Centre parking fee
By Lethbridge Herald on December 3, 2022.

Recently the Lethbridge Hurricanes indicated attendance is down 300 – 400 per game as a result of the City implementing a $5/game parking charge. It’s time for council to reconsider and eliminate this charge.
Does the money collected each game cover the lost concession revenue from having 300 – 400 less people/game? In addition to the team losing out on merchandise sales.
Five dollars may seem a small price to pay but tell that to a family who potentially will be able to attend fewer games than usual.
I wonder if Jeff Carlson and his fellow councillors who voted in favour of this charge follow his advice when travelling on City business: “If the parking fee was divided by a van load of nine people the cost per each person attending an event would be minimal.”

Yeah, right. Attended the walking group at the soccer center on Thursday. 2 dollars to walk, 10 dollar parking ticket.
Another City money grab. We will never return…..
