The future of downtown Lethbridge is about more than bricks and mortar—it’s about people, community, and creating spaces that bring us together. The Civic Common Redevelopment Strategy presents a bold vision to reimagine our city’s core: a vibrant, inclusive precinct that integrates mixed housing, enhances the public realm, and welcomes a new performing arts centre as a cultural anchor.
At the heart of this plan is the belief that the Civic Common should be magnetic, green, and walkable—a civic hub where neighbours connect, businesses thrive, and arts and culture flourish. It’s a place designed for both celebration and reflection, a destination created by the community and for the community.
This presentation will explore how revitalizing the Civic Common can address housing needs, strengthen our economy, enrich cultural life, and enhance quality of life for all Lethbridge residents.
