Lethbridge City Council declares April 7 Green Shirt Day
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge City Council has officially proclaimed April 7, 2023, as Green Shirt Day.
Following a motion presented by Mayor Blaine Hyggen at the March 21, 2023, City Council meeting, elected officials unanimously agreed to provide an exception to a decades-old decision.
In 1999, the City of Lethbridge passed a resolution stating that the mayor’s office would discontinue the practice of issuing proclamations to avoid endorsements that could cause controversy in the community.
However, this week City Council decided that due to the extraordinary cause of Green Shirt Day and the ongoing tribute to Lethbridge’s’ Logan Boulet, the resolution would be waived.
