You’re probably looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend ‐ a great �me to enjoy an invigora�ng walk with the family in the river valley or in any of our beau�ful parks to help ease the transi�on into winter. �e sure to take advantage of these beau�ful fall days to e�plore the family‐friendly features of Legacy Park in north Lethbridge and Watermark Park at the south end of west Lethbridge.

Schedules for ac�vi�es and performances at our arenas, pools and many other City of Lethbridge facili�es can be found online by visi�ng www.lethbridge.ca/things‐to‐do.

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).

Prince of Wales 1919 Visit On 2 October 1919, Edward, Prince of Wales, visited Lethbridge. This was the first time an heir to the British throne visited the community.

The prince was traveling across Canada, visiting communities and thanking Canada’s for its role in the war.

The Lethbridge community learned in July that he would visit Lethbridge as part of his cross-country tour but that he would only spend four hours in the city.

The organizers were able to convince him to expand the length of his visit and they made every effort to welcome him to the community.

He was met at the train station with the firing of the royal salute of 21 guns by a crew of artillery veterans. During his visit, there was a readying of the civic address and the prince’s reply as well as a visit by the Prince to one of the local school, an inspection of the Boys Scouts and Girls Guide, a visit to a Blackfoot camp set up at the Mounted Police barracks and a reception for the next-ofkin of those who lost family in the First World War. The Prince also presented decorations to fourteen veterans and inspected the local veterans. This was followed by a smoker at the Veterans’ Club.

Following his visit to Lethbridge, the Prince boarded his train and went on to Fort Macleod.

As part of our 100th anniversary celebrations we are collecting YOUR stories about Lethbridge. We want to capture the experience of living in Lethbridge up to and including the year 2019 to create our version of a time capsule.

The stories gathered will be vetted by a team of story experts – including Lethbridge Public Library’s Writer in Residence – and up to 100 stories will be chosen to be included in a bound copy of Letters for Lethbridge to be made available on the shelves of the Lethbridge Public Library.

Visit our website www.lethlib.ca for more information and submission guidelines.

“Wildlife Connections: Waterton Valley Wildlife Corridors and the Return of the Northern Leopard Frog” After a 40 year absence, northern leopard frogs have returned to Waterton Photo by Ken Orich Lakes National Park.

Also Alberta, most populations remained healthy until about 1979 when they mysteriously disappeared from most sites in the central and southern parts get a glimpse into a wildlife connectivity study focused of the province. In 1990, only half of the remaining few leopard frog populations in Alberta were breeding successfully. within the narrowest portion of the Waterton Valley, Breeding: Most frogs don't breed until they're three to four years old. including an assortment of In late April, males begin calling to attract females. Breeding begins in May. Each female deposits up to 3,000 eggs in a large, flattened mass of images captured by remote grey/black jelly in the water. The eggs hatch in 10-20 days into tadpoles. cameras.

By early August, they transform into adults.

Management and Outlook: Farmers must ensure pesticide application and cattle grazing near waterholes don't destroy the area for frogs.

Wetland drainage should also be avoided. Biologists agree captive breeding programs may be needed to repopulate areas from which the species has entirely disappeared, such as the North Saskatchewan River basin. It is illegal to collect northern leopard frogs for sale to biological supply houses.
