LETHBRIDGE, AB – A major update in Lethbridge’s efforts to establish a curbside organics collection and processing program.
A grant of $5,879,000 has been awarded to the City of Lethbridge from the federal government’s Canada Community Building Fund. The funding stream is administered by the provincial government.
The money will be used to offset construction costs for the organic waste compost facility.
“Each year, our government seeks to provide key infrastructure investment dollars in partnership with the federal government to our local municipalities,” says Lethbridge-East MLA Nathan Neudorf. “The City of Lethbridge has identified the need for a composting facility, and we have allocated these funds to meet that need. I look forward to this project being completed and benefitting the lives of those who live and work in Lethbridge.”
