Charities and non-profit organizations across Lethbridge are doing everything they can to help residents without homes as they battle the bitterly cold weather this week.
It’s become a common theme in Lethbridge, the setting up and dismantling of homeless encampments. As a result, the City of Lethbridge has given residents in the encampment 24 hours to vacate the property or they could potentially face a fine.
For the past week-and-a-half, city staff and members of the Lethbridge Police Service have been tearing down an encampment of about a dozen tents located near a homeless shelter.
