Year-end review: Lethbridge Mayor Chris Spearman
LETHBRIDGE, AB – “It’s an understatement to say that it was a challenging year.”
Mayor Chris Spearman is reflecting on what has been a difficult past 12 months for many in Lethbridge with the COVID-19 pandemic challenging their health, finances, and personal liberties.
The provincial government announced business closures and restrictions in both March and November.
“Certainly, there are impacts on peoples’ businesses and we sympathize with the people who have invested in those businesses and whose income flow is directly affected. We’re also hearing from families who are struggling – people who can’t afford to pay their utility bills, can’t afford to put food on the table, can’t afford to buy presents for their kids for Christmas.”
