Full day of celebrations planned for Canada Day in Lethbridge

Jul 1, 2018 | 8:05 AM

LETHBRIDGE – As our country turns 151, there is no shortage of ways for you to celebrate Canada Day in Lethbridge.

If you’re planning on driving yourself to the festivities at Henderson Lake, a reminder that there are some road closures in place and you are encouraged to park at Exhibition Park and walk to the lake.

To help you avoid dealing with those closures, traffic, and parking, the Lethbridge Canada Day committee is sponsoring a free park and ride shuttle service with a number of locations around the city. The service will run from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. and will get you to and from the fireworks.

Here’s a look at some of the big events going on around our city Sunday, July 1:
