LETHBRIDGE – Lethbridge County has been approved for funding from the provincial Disaster Recovery Program to make repairs following the spring 2018 flooding.

The funding, totalling $275,000, will cover the cost of fixing damaged infrastructure, and help the county recover the costs of cleaning out culverts and ditches.
