This might be your best chance to learn more about what the City of Lethbridge and its community partners are working on.

The Community Conversation takes place Thursday, Jan. 29, from 3:00-7:00 p.m. at the VisitLethbridge.com Arena.

Sara Peters, Senior Communications and Engagement Strategist with the City, says guests will be able to learn more about over 40 projects, programs and services.

“At these events, you’re talking to the subject matter expert on that specific project, so you’re talking directly to the person who knows about that project, can answer questions for you, and learn a bit more or maybe have some myths busted,” says Peters.

Some of the featured projects are a proposed north-south transportation corridor, changes to how property tax assessments and taxation notices are presented, and upgrades to the city’s water and wastewater treatment plants.
