“This Action Plan is a great opportunity to show that Council is planning, reporting and engaging differently.”

“We are excited to work together on the important priorities needed to grow and support Lethbridge,” Hyggen adds.

The city says the plan was created with the help of the previous Municipal Development Plan (MDP).

“We know we’ve got challenges and change ahead of us but in times of change, it’s important and reassuring to have a plan,” says Hyggen. “This Action Plan give us the clear roadmap to get to the work we’ve identified as being most important to our community.”
