The City of Lethbridge is launching a new and convenient way to deal with that drawer full of old batteries.

In a groundbreaking partnership with Call2Recycle Canada, the city is introducing Alberta's very first curbside battery collection program.

Running from November 18-28, the initiative allows residents to recycle used batteries on their regular green cart collection day.

Participation is simple: gather your old household batteries (like AA, AAA, C, D), tape the positive (+) terminals to prevent sparks, and seal them in a clear bag.

Place the bag on top of your green cart for collection crews to see.

This program offers a safe disposal option, as improperly discarded batteries can pose a serious fire hazard.

While special bags are available at locations like City Hall and public libraries, any clear resealable bag is acceptable.

The festive season is officially underway in Lethbridge with the return of a beloved holiday tradition.

The 13th annual Christmas at Casa transforms the downtown art centre into a vibrant showcase of the region’s creative spirit.

Organized by the Allied Arts Council, the event features over 100 artists and artisans, with more than 60 unique vendors offering one-of-a-kind gifts.

This has become the premiere Christmas event for the local arts community.

An immersive atmosphere awaits, with live music filling the Casa building and Rotary Square, including performances of Charlie Brown Christmas jazz.

Attendees can also enjoy live blacksmith demonstrations, hot drinks, and snacks.

The market is a crucial platform for local creators to connect with the community and grow their artistic careers.

The celebration runs Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
