Building Strength by Living in Dignity
With the pandemic forcing the closure of public spaces like our libraries - Lethbridge’s housing crisis has been more present and more seen than ever before. In the most recent budget priority survey, 21 percent of people noted that homelessness and affordable housing were strong concerns. Even more folks noted crime and addiction as major concerns. There is no shortage of evidence that demonstrates poverty is the root cause of crime and active addiction. But, beyond that, living in dignity is a right that everyone in Lethbridge should have access to.
A Stronger Community for Everyone
Access to community spaces throughout our city must be a priority. We have many great green spaces and parks that create vibrant places for people to gather and grow. By investing in community spaces that meet the needs of the people living in those neighbourhoods, we are investing in a stronger Lethbridge that works for everyone.
Growing Stronger by Caring
Lethbridge is home to many families that choose to make this city their home because of the incredible benefits it offers. As a parent myself, I know that there are challenges in accessing affordable, high quality early education child care and in using our transit system to get around town. By investing in affordable child care and partnering with organizations already doing this work, families with diverse child care needs can find affordable, high quality child care that works for them. By investing in sustainable, free transit that gets people where they need to go, we can build a stronger Lethbridge that supports us all in meeting our social and economic needs while reducing air pollution that contributes to climate crisis.
