Admissions, Visit Cards and Memberships (all prices include GST) New Aquatic Membership Program The City of Lethbridge has recently launched new leisure management software. Through this new electronic system, pass holders will need to use a swipe card called a Fun Pass. The Fun Pass can be used to access a number of City facilities including memberships for most pools and skating rinks. Along with the launch of the Fun Pass comes more streamlined pool membership options and a new fee structure. •The recreation pass and the fitness advantage pass options have been combined into one single pass and merged into a new fee structure. • The Fun Pass will give access to three indoor facilities (Fritz Sick, Nicholas Sheran and Stan Siwik) along with the Henderson outdoor pool in the summer season. Pass holders are able to access all facility programing given they meet the age and program requirements. Please see Program Choices in the Guide for more information. •A 1 month and 12 month membership option has been added on top of the existing 3 and 6 month options. •Another price level has been added to separate children and youth. (see rates below).

The arena, opened in 1923, was the first indoor skating rink in Lethbridge. Originally built with natural ice, artificial ice was installed in 1936. The blaze, which destroyed the arena, broke out at 10:30 pm in the third period of a junior hockey game between the Lethbridge Sugar Kings and the Edmonton Maple Leafs. The third period had to be played the following night in Taber. The building was home to several memorable Lethbridge hockey teams, including the Lethbridge Maple Leafs, Lethbridge Native Sons and the Sugar

American Goldfinch
Spinus tristis
Breeding Range Year-round Winter Range
The breeding male looks like a yellow and black race car on a winding road when pursuing the zigzagging path of his desired mate, showcasing his beak and plumage, representative of his health and gene pool. If courting is successful the pair will take a few wide laps together and raise only one clutch. 2021 Spring Equinox March 20
Did You Know? Migrating American Goldfinch typically winter where temperatures are 0oC or warmer, returning to breeding grounds later than other finch or native American birds, similar to Sedge Wrens capitalizing on the abundant seed supply. American Goldfinch are unique both by their vegetarian diet and molting twice a year, in late winter and early fall. March is a good month to begin a First Signs of Spring journal as animals and plants return, resurface, and regrow.

“Parks keep our bodies healthy”
Parks in Lethbridge offer many opportunities for various physical activities. From fitness equipment to walking and hiking trails, playgrounds to sport courts, there is an amenity for all ages and abilities to maintain their health.
