'Protect agricultural land and keep the rural character'

Jul 23, 2026 | 3:10 PM

The results of a Spring survey of its ratepayers by Lethbridge County is showing some key themes. 

Being billed as the ‘What We Heard’ report, one of the leading responses was a desire to protect agricultural land and keep the rural character.

Along the same lines, a majority of residents feel growth should directed in the right places, avoiding using any prime farmland.

Another concern that came to the forefront – more flexibility on property use, like home-based businesses and secondary suites.

The County says the feedback will directly help to shape its residential strategy, a document that’s expected to be made public by year’s end.
