Lethbridge City Council voted unanimously, on Tuesday, to approve a capital investment of $1.2 million for Lethbridge School Division to upsize the gymnasium at the soon-to-be modernized Galbraith School.
Council’s approval was based on a recommendation from Economic and Finance Standing Policy Committee from its June 13 meeting.
The City’s commitment is in alignment with the 2021 Recreation and Culture Master Plan, which identified the community need for more indoor recreational spaces, as well as the 2022 Indoor Court/Multipurpose Space Audit and Analysis Report, where one of the key recommendations was to continue support of school gymnasium upsizing’s.
In the February 2024 Provincial Budget, Alberta Education and Alberta Infrastructure advanced the Galbraith Modernization project.
As part of the approval, Council also authorized the mayor to provide a letter of commitment for the funding.
