Your City Hall mainly watched the sky this week
Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.
Look, if you were looking for big news from our civic leaders this past week, you might've missed it because their eyes were mostly pointed upwards. The wind, which they call *I’taá* in Blackfoot, was a real presence.
It seemed like City Hall's biggest preoccupation wasn't with new policies or city spending, but with the weather. There were multiple warnings issued by Environment Canada, and everyone was keeping an eye on those heavy skies.
Here's the gist:
* Our City Council didn't make many groundbreaking decisions. * The open data portal was unusually quiet, reflecting a calm week. * The primary focus was definitely on the changing weather patterns, not on civic governance.
It felt like a week where the land itself, and what was coming across it, held more sway than any meeting agenda. Sometimes, you just gotta watch the sky.
