Lethbridge teams dismantle ‘high-risk encampment’ in coulees
The City of Lethbridge says an encampment that was reportedly causing “high concern due to safety, environmental and structural risks” has been taken down.
The Encampment Response Team and Outreach Support partnered with Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services (LFES) to locate the tent structure in the River Valley.
A drone allowed the groups to identify the site in a difficult-to-access area in the coulees and assess any potential hazards.
It was identified as a “Tier 3” encampment, which is the highest level under the City’s Encampment Strategy.
