Recreation & Culture Guide Coordinated by the City of Lethbridge, Recreation & Culture Department Printed in Canada
Welcome to the October 2021 Recreation & Culture Guide A Message from Mayor Chris Spearman The change in the weather is a sure sign that winter is just around the corner. The great outdoors is calling for an invigorating walk with the family in the river valley or in any of our beautiful parks to help ease the transition into winter. Be sure to take advantage of these beautiful fall days before the snow flies. This year, Thanksgiving and our ability to share the holiday with family and friends will take on special meaning, and we can be thankful for all we have done as a community to keep each other safe. Municipal election day is Monday, October 18th and I encourage you to exercise your right to vote. It is your civic duty to research the candidates and make informed choices on who should represent you on City Council and our local school boards. You’ll also be asked to respond to the following questions: "Do you support using a ward system to elect City Councillors (other than the Mayor) starting with the 2025 municipal election?” "Do you agree that city council should approve plans to construct a 3rd bridge prior to 2030 as a municipal capital project priority?" You can find more information about the election at: www.lethbridge.ca/elections
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of Lethbridge for giving me the opportunity to serve for two terms as your Mayor. Also, a big thank you to the outgoing Council for their hard work and dedication to public service during these challenging times. My best wishes go out to the incoming City Council and the next Mayor for a rewarding experience. Be safe and be well, Lethbridge. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Chris Spearman, Mayor
City of Lethbridge
Remember, if you have any questions about any City of Lethbridge service or programs, you can call 311 during business hours for all the answers.

St. Mary and Milk River Agreement of 1921 In 1909, the Boundary Waters Treaty was drafted between Canada and the United States. While the 1909 Treaty outlined that the St. Mary and Milk Rivers and their tributaries were to be treated as one stream and shared equally between the two countries, the reclamation and irrigation officers weren’t able to agree as to how the water should be measured and divided up between the countries.
The six members of the IJC in 1921, with three members representing each country, were: C.A. Magrath, C.D. Clark, Henry A. Powell, O. Gardner, W.H. Hearst, and Mark A. Smith. Charles Magrath, first Mayor of Lethbridge and a surveyor by training, was appointed to the IJC in 1911 and served as chair of the Canadian contingent from 1915 to 1936.
So the International Joint Commission (IJC) was formed and part of its work was to settle the matter. On 4 October 1921, the IJC brought forward an order about how the waters would be divided and when and how measurements would be made. The apportionment of the water differed between irrigation and non-irrigation seasons and was also dependent on the amount of the natural flow of each river. It carefully set out what fraction of the water each country was due.

arts in lethbridge arts feature Lethbridge Public Art Public art enhances the urban fabric of our community by creating beloved landmarks, reflecting our local heritage, conveying Lethbridge’s cultural image while helping to foster a community identity. It is a source of civic pride, encourages social exchange and positively impacts economic development and tourism. The City of Lethbridge Public Art Program is the result of a collaborative effort by the City and its arts community. The public art program was established by the City of Lethbridge in 2007 when it adopted a Public Art Policy as a framework for the acquisition of public art, public art governance and the management of the public art collections. The policy also established a Lethbridge Public Art Committee as an advisory body for the program.
together. The Electrical Box Pilot Project paired artists with 6 electrical boxes in Galt Gardens and a singular box behind Casa. These brightly patterned boxes explored the themes of Place and Connection, Park/Urban Eco Systems, Coulee Flora & Fauna plus Family Fun & Play. The Mural Support Pilot Project in conjunction with the Heart of Our City Committee matched artists with local business owners to create murals throughout the downtown. Two murals were painted in the heat this summer and are located between 5 Street and 6 Street in the 300 block. Three more murals are being completed in September by artists April Matisz, Hali Heavy Shield, as well as, the artist duo of Leila Armstrong and Aaron Hagan.
Be sure to visit publicartlethbridge.ca to discover new public This summer the Public Art Committee launched two artworks, learn about future calls for artists and explore programs that brought local artists and downtown artworks Lethbridge’s fascinating collection of Public Art.

Greater Sage-Grouse: Endangered Source: globalchange.gov
Photo: ebird.org
The Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) status is "endangered" in Alberta (COSEWIC 2021).
They are commonly known as Sage Hens or Sage Chickens and their scientific name means "Spiny Tailed Pheasant." It refers to the long-pointed tail which is fanned out by males during mating displays on leks. Members of this species are true grouse and not pheasants. Greater Sage-Grouse are the largest Canadian grouse and are sexually dimorphic. Females average 56.1 cm long, and males average 74.7 cm long.
Birds of Prey Centre
in Canada's southernmost native prairies where sagebrush grows. They are dependent on sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata and/or A. cana) for nesting and wintering habitat and do not exist beyond the range of the plants. This polygamous species concentrates at leks located in flat areas near creek valleys. Their populations are affected by parasites, predation, weather, pesticides, and habitat alteration. Historically the conversion of Sage-Grouse habitat into farmland played a major role in its early decline. Nowadays industrial disturbance has been a particularly major factor.

KEY BENEFITS OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACE IN LETHBRIDGE
“Parks make us happy”
The mental health benefits of parks are becoming increasingly recognized by urban planners and municipalities. One study found that higher levels of green space in a neighbourhood were associated with lower levels of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and stress.
Did You Know?
Another study revealed that individuals who moved to areas with more green space experienced significantly better mental health. Individuals who moved to areas with less green space showed significantly worse mental health in the year following the move.
42
Mental health practitioners also recognize the therapeutic value that park spaces can provide. A 2007 study of individuals with mental health illnesses reported over 90% of individuals benefited from green exercise activities.

333 by Jay Whitehead A new play by Jay Whitehead tells the story of three men arrested when Toronto police, in 1981, raided several city bathhouses. This was one of Canada’s largest mass arrests and was called “Operation Soap.” The raids led to an uprising in the Queer community and is often credited with starting the modern Pride movement.
