The Economic Standing Policy Committee of city council Capital Improvement Project deliberations for the 2022-2032 cycle continued on Day Four Thursday with several significant initiatives recommended for approval.
A majority of SPC members chose to go electric by recommending the funding of the replacement of the current diesel City bus fleet with electric buses over the next 10 years. The total cost of the replacement program would be $19.4 million between 2022-2025, with a total cost of $37 million needed over the next ten years. This cost would include the buses themselves and all charging infrastructure needed to keep them running.
SPC members were reassured by City transit staff that the federal government will likely be approving significant grants to municipalities to help encourage the electric bus change in order to help meet Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions commitments.

The City of Lethbridge marked Red Dress Day in memory of murdered and missing Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people by hanging two bright red dresses among the green leaves of a weeping willow in front of city hall on Wednesday.
“Today is an important day,” stated Mayor Chris Spearman. “It tells the families of murdered and missing women that they have not been forgotten. The red dress is symbolic of murdered and missing Indigenous women, and those families feel abandoned. Those stories have been forgotten for too long.
