City council facing huge decision
By Letter to the Editor on August 22nd, 2020
Should be an interesting council meeting on Monday. One of the biggest issues will be the approval or cancellation of funding from the City of Lethbridge to Exhibition Park for their expansion. I say cancellation because there was a commitment made by city council to the Exhibition that if they could secure provincial funding (which ... Read More »
2 responsesMcKenna must listen to the people
By Letter to the Editor on August 21st, 2020
Calling for more policing will not address Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna’s concerns about all that negative feedback she is getting from her constituents. The reason for the anger and frustration they are expressing is only a natural reaction as she arrogantly insists on shoving her distorted and misguided environmental policies down their throats against their ...

Be the first to comment!Nord-Bridge busy during closure
By Letter to the Editor on August 20th, 2020
In a recent letter to the editor, a writer asked why Nord-Bridge hadn’t been more active this summer. As one of the few privately owned senior centres in the province, the answer certainly relates to finances. But here is a brief outline of what we have done since the provincially mandated shutdown. Immediately after shutting ... Read More »
1 responseDispatch decision is history repeating itself
By Letter to the Editor on August 20th, 2020
Re: AHS dispatch decision. Here we go again. It must be history repeating itself. Would someone inform the head of AHS that this was proposed a number of years ago and saner heads prevailed. Why? It was proven that our situation here in Lethbridge is different than most other places in Alberta. All of our ... Read More »
2 responsesCitizens should have a say in money for Exhibition expansion
By Letter to the Editor on August 19th, 2020
I believe that any money spent, lent, borrowed, or gifted to the Exhibition Board should be voted on by the citizens of Lethbridge. Once again, most of the council is quite happy to spend, spend and spend more and keep raising taxes. If the proposed expansion of the Exhibition is that lucrative, there should be ... Read More »
1 responseWill Lethbridge Transit everbe green?
By Letter to the Editor on August 19th, 2020
Public transit systems are seen as a strategy to fight global warming and that all types of transit systems contribute somewhat equally to environmental efforts. Reality is much different. Several years ago when using the public transit in Germany, I became aware of different levels of environmental performance. Their system was electric rail which is ... Read More »
3 responsesAttack on PM over WE controversy is appalling
By Letter to the Editor on August 14th, 2020
Watching the finance committee hearing today revealed disgusting and appalling conduct by the opposition MPs who were questioning Prime Minister Trudeau. They had already made up their minds not to believe him. So, what was the point of having Trudeau appear at the committee? The opposition MPs were not interested in the truth of the ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on August 14th, 2020
I would like to comment on Mr. Moffatt’s letter (July 31 Herald). He beats down police. Well, I would like you to put on a uniform for one night shift and go deal with all these drug-addled individuals who they have to deal with 24/7. Trust me, you wouldn’t last a shift. As for your ... Read More »
23 responsesFixing problem of bullying
By Letter to the Editor on August 13th, 2020
Pink shirt day and little girls writing story books about overcoming bullying. The constant pressure and stress on young people, dealing with intimidation and plain meanness on social media that ultimately leads to lives destroyed. Will it ever change? My guess is no. The reason bullying happens is as varied as the people being bullied ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on August 13th, 2020
Grandview Village is a condo for 55+ adults. We have 108 suites, 58 of which are occupied by one person; the other 50 have two people – the maximum occupancy of a suite is two. The City of Lethbridge has informed us that a universal recycling fee of $7 per month per suite will be ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on August 12th, 2020
In response to the snide and uninformed Roast from July 27 re: LSCO and Nord-Bridge (correct spelling), I offer the following: Although LSCO closed its doors to the public on March 13, in order to help stop person-to-person spread of COVID-19, we continued to provide necessary services to our members and the community. Our almost ... Read More »
