The Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) presents a session with City of Lethbridge representatives discussing the renewal of the city's Land Use Bylaw and its implications.

Land Use Bylaw Renewal: Shaping the Future of Lethbridge

The Land Use Bylaw is the rule book that regulates development on private land in the city, and the last time it was comprehensively reviewed and rewritten was 1986. The Land Use Bylaw Renewal project is an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come as a city and establish regulations to shape the future of Lethbridge.

This presentation will examine how the Land Use Bylaw shapes where we live, work and play, and how the new Land Use Bylaw will be created. This is a great opportunity to ask any land use-related questions and share your past experiences and ideas for the future.

Speakers: Genesis Molesky and Ross Kilgour

Genesis works as a community planner with the City of Lethbridge and has eight years of experience in land use planning. She completed her undergraduate studies in urban and regional planning at the University of Saskatchewan. In her role with the City of Lethbridge, she works on all levels of long-range planning projects from guiding parcel-specific redevelopment proposals to developing neighbourhood and city-wide planning policy documents.

Ross earned his degree in urban & regional planning in Edinburgh, Scotland. He then worked in London, England, first as a planner for the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea before moving to the private sector with Firstplan Ltd. After immigrating, Ross joined the City of Lethbridge where he is a Senior Community Planner, focusing on the redevelopment of older neighbourhoods and the city’s heritage program. Ross’s passions in urbanism include sustainability, equity, planning/zoning reform, and enabling walkable neighbourhoods.
