Your City Hall spent all week watching the sky
Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.
This past week, look, the main thing on everyone's mind down at City Hall wasn't some new bylaw or a budget amendment. It was the sky, plain and simple. We had some pretty serious weather rolling through, from heavy snow to those winds that feel like they're trying to push you right off the Old Man River valley trails.
Emergency preparedness was the talk of the town, not in a panic, but in that steady, deliberate way we have here. The city was making sure our crews were ready for whatever *Niitsítapi* weather, our Blackfoot weather, decided to throw our way. Roads, power, keeping folks safe — that was the focus.
* Heavy snowfall warnings kept crews on standby. * High wind alerts had infrastructure teams checking things twice. * Communication channels were prepped for public safety announcements.
So, while the usual city business kept turning, it was all under the big, watchful eye of our southern Alberta skies. It reminds you that no matter what plans we make, the land always has the final word out here.
