LETHBRIDGE, AB – Starting May 31, residents of Lethbridge will be able to access city services in person once again.

However, only services on the first floor will be open. The rest of city hall will temporarily remain closed to the public.

City hall first closed to the public on May 7 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Although City Hall will be open if required, residents are still encouraged to make online and telephone inquiries whenever possible, rather than visiting City Hall,” reads a statement from the City of Lethbridge.

Utility and tax payments can also be paid at your bank.

Applications for permits and payments for business licenses, dog licenses, and parking tickets can be paid online at Lethbridge.ca

“Since City Hall re-opened after the first COVID-19 shut down in June 2020, many steps have been taken to ensure interactions are done safely for the wellbeing of both staff and visitors. This includes directional signage for one-way foot traffic to manage proper physical distancing, adhering to all public health guidelines. During the current closure, more work has been done to review the processes in place making any required changes to help enhance safety.”

The decision to reopen city hall was made due to the city’s increased ability to maintain a safe environment for all staff and visitors.
