City Receives Funding To Combat Gang Violence | July 26, 2023 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News

The City of Lethbridge has received a large amount of federal funding to help combat gun and gang violence in our city.

A one year deal worth close worth $665,618 will be allocated to help address early intervention for youth in Lethbridge.

Andrew Malcolm, the general manager of community social development with the city explained how this funding could be used to help hire a clinical social worker or a psychiatric nurse with the option of extending the deal to three years.

Councillor Belinda Crowson says this funding is vital for early intervention to make sure youth in our community don’t turn to a life of crime.

City staff say that there is no net cost to the city for this initiative.
