By Lethbridge Herald on August 14th, 2024
Editor: I worry for the youth of today, because I’m one of them. As an 18-year-old I have not been on this Earth for very long, but in my short tenure as a person I have borne witness to things that shake me to the core. My peers have been granted much by the generations ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on August 10th, 2024
Editor: Over the last several months, I have read in the Roast and Toasts or the editorials of the Lethbridge Herald, the pros and cons of bike paths in the down town area of Lethbridge. It is rather obvious to me that the people who submit the cons either don’t own a bike or they ... Read More »

By Lethbridge Herald on July 26th, 2024
Editor: Our council has spent many thousands of our dollars to install bike lanes along 4th Avenue in the downtown area which are rarely, if ever, used.
