LETHBRIDGE, AB – For the second year in a row, residents of Lethbridge will have to make their own fun for Canada Day.

While COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted across Alberta, the city says the pandemic continues to have an “unprecedented effect” on the community.

As a result, there will be no fireworks or public events provided by the City of Lethbridge at Henderson Park or Galt Gardens on July 1.

Instead, the city is encouraging residents to “celebrate in your own backyard,” suggesting a few ways you can do that:
