Changes coming to Water Safety Courses

Aquatics

The Red Cross has decided to turn down their involvement in water safety throughout 2022. By January 2023 there will no longer be Red Cross Water Safety Instructor courses or lessons. Standard First Aid will continue. The Lifesaving Society is taking over that responsibility. We are working with them to program our new Swim for Life Instructor courses and lessons. We're excited for this new chapter and look forward to working with everyone!

125 th Anniversary of Lethbridge Exhibition The Lethbridge Exhibition had its start in 1897 as Lethbridge's first Agricultural Fair. The fair was held at Queen Victoria Park, which was created in 1891 when the Lethbridge Turf and Athletic Association leased 40 acres from the Alberta Railway and Coal Company. The property was fenced and barns were built. In 1896, the Lethbridge and District Agricultural Society was formed and took over the Turf Association’s 40acre tract. In 1904, the first parade and rodeo was held as part of the Exhibition.

In 1911, the Exhibition moved to its current location. The next year, Lethbridge was to host the Dry Farming Congress and wished to have a grand new space in which to showcase to the world. Just west of the new exhibition site, Henderson Park and Lake were developed at the same time and a new grandstand and exhibition buildings were built. The grand buildings are shown in the photograph. Unfortunately, a fire in 1925 destroyed the 1911 Exhibition building. Heritage Hall, constructed in the Craftsman Mission Revival Style, with turrets and stucco, was built as a replacement to the exhibition buildings following the fire. In the 1960s the annual fair at the Exhibition was renamed Whoop Up Days.

Bighorn Sheep & Prickly Wild Rose Two Emblems of Alberta Mammal of Alberta: Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). In 1989, the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep was designated the official mammal of Alberta. It is native to Alberta and is the largest wild sheep in North America. A large ram can weigh over 300 pounds and stand over 42 inches tall at the shoulder. They are generally a dark brown to gray/brown colour with a white rump patch, muzzle and back of legs. Rams' horns are massive and tightly curled close to the face. A ewe has small shorter horns that curve only slightly, and ewes usually weigh 125-150 lbs.

Floral Emblem: Prickly rose (Rosa acicularis). The wild rose was designated the floral emblem of Alberta in 1930. Alberta’s provincial flower is a tough and adaptable shrub. It thrives in sites ranging from dry grassy hill slopes to moist forest understories. Its flowers have excellent pollen and nectar resources, and its hips provide a long-lasting food source for birds throughout the winter. Its petals and hips (high in vitamin C) can be used to make tea, jellies, jams, vinegars, syrups, or eaten fresh.

Mindful Walking Walking for Physical and Mental Health Breath and Movement: As you walk, pay attention to your posture and breathing. In your exhales, breath out stress and worries, in your inhales, breath in energy and life. The Senses: What do you see, smell, hear and what can you touch? Try to keep yourself present in the moment by focusing on what is around you. Connections: Find something especially interesting or beautiful in ordinary nature - something that you really connect with. Gratitude: As you step outdoors, bring to mind something you are grateful for. Throughout your walk, look for simple things that stir up a feeling of wellbeing or gratefulness. Walk with family or friends: Turn these meditations into conversations as you enjoy the company of family and friends.

KEY BENEFITS OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACE IN LETHBRIDGE

“Parks connect us”

Did You Know?

Public park spaces provide residents with important and valued spaces to meet neighbours and participate in many social activities. Parks also foster social inclusion in a community. Social inclusion involves the basic notions of belonging, acceptance and recognition. Parks contribute to social inclusion by providing spaces that all segments of the population can enjoy for activities, events or casual use.

Park users note that parks were a socially important place and that their activities were enriched by the presence of others (e.g. friends, families and strangers). The presence of these social conditions was identified as a key factor that increased motivation and usage of parks. The social benefits of urban park spaces has led urban and municipal planners to focus on ensuring adequate parks and open spaces are available to residents.
