LETHBRIDGE, AB – The City of Lethbridge is recognizing those who make their communities a better place this winter.

The City launched the Mighty Neighbour: Winter Warrior Edition initiative on February 8, 2024. The campaign invites residents to nominate neighbours who help shovel snow, maintain the entrances to gutters, or pick up after dogs.

Heather Gowland, Transportation Community Coordinator said, “Winter may bring icy temperatures and snow, but it also reveals the warmth in our communities. The Mighty Neighbours initiative aims to highlight those everyday heroes who make our neighbourhoods not just winter-ready, but mighty good places to live.”

As part of the initiative, the City of Lethbridge has created thee superheroes for the project: Snow Shoveling Steve, Gavin the Gutter Buddy, and Poop-Scoopin’ Penny.

Gowland added that if the campaign is deemed a success for the winter, the City may look into extending it into the other parts of the year.
