This project is to update the City of Lethbridge&rsquo;s 2012 <a href="https://www.lethbridge.ca/media/eskhu1ub/public-art-master-plan.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Public Art Master Plan</a>. The City&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lethbridge.ca/council-administration-governance/plans-reports-and-studies/municipal-development-plan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Municipal Development Plan</a> (MDP) identifies the need to ensure the future advancement of public art by providing continuous support to the Public Art Program. The MDP recommends that the Public Art Master Plan be regularly updated to ensure that City support for Public Art is sufficient, and that it addresses potential barriers and community needs. The current Public Art Master Plan is over ten years old, and much has changed in Lethbridge since it was written. The need for an updated Public Art Master Plan is also identified in the City&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lethbridge.ca/media/jvyb0cf2/civic-culture-plan.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Civic Culture Plan</a> which was adopted by Council in principle in June 2024. This Plan establishes a shared vision that will guide the City&rsquo;s cultural policy development, including Public Art. It sets long-term direction and provides a lens through which decisions can be made and resources allocated. The Plan&rsquo;s vision, focus areas, and strategies call for transformative change and a shift in the City&rsquo;s policies, practices, and allocation of resources. The Civic Culture Plan calls for a review of the Public Art Program in the context of placemaking to create a more comprehensive framework for cultural activations that enhance civic spaces, encourage dialogue, and contribute to a vibrant public realm.

The Civic Common Redevelopment Strategy builds on the community’s input from 2018 on the Civic Common Master Plan. Now in the research and planning phase, this long-term strategy will require City Council approval to seek funding for phases of design and construction.  The goal is to improve the overall livability, value and functionality of the area for both residents and visitors.

The first public engagement survey was available from June 5 to June 26, 2023;&nbsp;residents were encouraged to provide input on climate adaptation and resilience in Lethbridge. The survey built upon the results of the Sustain-o-topia &ndash; Thriving in Our Changing Climate Survey&nbsp;and focused on the strategic direction of the Climate Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan. The second engagement opportunity took place from October 23 to November 29, 2023, where residents were able to provide input on community action prioritization.&nbsp;WHY DOES THIS PROJECT MATTER? We want to build a healthy future for our City by creating and implementing an action-based practical plan that paves the way to a thriving, climate resilient community where everyone is safe and cared for. As we&#39;ve seen recently in the northern Alberta wildfires, changing and extreme weather events can cost communities millions in assets, services, and damages. We developed this strategy to identify ways we can better weatherproof our assets and services when an extreme weather event comes our way. Community input was a key component to ensuring the Plan aligns with residents&rsquo; needs, values, and desires.&nbsp;<img src="https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-canada/ab355eb5268e851988439ede1aad2428d8018bdb/original/1684865739/dcc7c5ce6b0df74d31c7d689880fe55f_Resilience_v_Adaptation.PNG?1684865739" style="width: 727px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title="">The Climate Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan provides strategic direction including principles to guide decision-making on climate action within our organization and community. The Plan outlines priority adaptation actions that the City and community can take to build community resiliency to extreme weather and changing climate conditions and to increase public health, security, and emergency preparedness.&nbsp;The Climate Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan was adopted by City Council on July 9, 2024. The final report is uploaded in the &quot;Document Library&quot; for reference. Thank you for your input!
