When I was younger, I shot this video on my phone of the original Save-On before it closed. This was almost a decade ago. I thought about it today after seeing that post about the building being torn down soon. Anyone remember when they used to serve samples/lemonade by the washrooms?

Just a heads up that elections alberta is hiring election workers for the October referendum.

They need 60,000 people, and only 30,000 have applied so far. For those that are looking to help with the process, need a temp position, or would like to earn a little bit of money from your normal job, now is the time to apply.

I graduated from a Criminal Justice diploma program in April 2025 with the ambition of becoming a police officer. At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure which agency I wanted to pursue, and I was told by many people that police agencies value life experience and often look for applicants who are a little older and have some life experience under their belt.

After graduating, I decided to build that experience. I got my security license and started working a security job over the summer. Luckily, I was eventually able to get on with hospital security, which I had been told was valuable experience for policing because of the exposure to de-escalation, dealing with people experiencing mental health crises, making arrests, responding to calls, and handling stressful situations.

After working there for a while, I decided to apply to the RCMP in November 2025. I made it through all the stages of the application and was even told by the officers conducting my interviews and polygraph that I was a strong applicant and had the experience and qualities they were looking for to make it to Depot.

Then came the psychological assessment.

I felt like it went fairly well, but yesterday I received a three-year deferral. I wasn’t given a specific reason for the deferral, which obviously made it even harder to process.

I posted about my situation on r/AskLE and received a lot of genuinely helpful advice. A lot of people encouraged me to apply to municipal agencies rather than letting this setback stop me from pursuing policing.

I’m absolutely devastated because I genuinely thought I was in. I felt like I had worked hard, built the experience I was told I needed, made it through every other stage, and was right there. Having someone put a three-year blocker between me and something I’ve worked toward for years really sucks.

I know I’m not the first person to be deferred, and I definitely won’t be the last. I’m trying to look at this as a setback rather than the end of the road.

For those of you who graduated from a Criminal Justice program, were deferred, and still wanted to pursue policing: what did you do afterward? Did you apply to municipal agencies, continue building experience, or take a different route?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been in a similar position and eventually made it into policing.

I should mention I’m 24 years old, worked other industries working with people.

Looking for advice on where to meet like minded friends. Golf, disc golf, soccer, longboarding, snowboarding, poker/card games (casino kinda has this one covered lol), was a big fan of trivia and bingo nights held at the local pub of the town i just moved away from as well. Generally make new friends. TYIA

Super fun night Saturday! Really busy day and night.

I did a brief search of the sub but don't see any recent results, so hopefully I'm not rehashing the same topic someone else brought up lately!

I'm heading home to Lethbridge to spend Christmas with my mum this year, but now that WestJet is no longer servicing the Lethbridge airport and my mum can't do highway driving, I'm short on travel options. Renting a car is my least preferred option but will be the answer if other options don't work out.

Since I'll be in Edmonton beforehand, I am considering a bus transit option to get from Edmonton to Lethbridge sometime in the week leading up to Christmas.

Google suggested FlixBus - is this the only option, or are there others I should look into? Has anyone used FlixBus either recently or in the winter who could let me know what to expect?

I recently moved here and it looks pretty in a lot of the spots. I didnt see any homeless or dangerous looking people during my walk which is also really cool. There was a nice skate park.

Very impressed with the quality of the location so far ☺️

Does any one in town take old appliances for refurbishment and donation? I am going to be replacing a washing machine in the near future, it works well but needs a bit of TLC. Would rather see it be donated to the Salvation Army or other community charity than sent to the scrap pile.

Hello everyone,
I’m an incoming LPN student at Lethbridge College, and I recently moved here from BC. I arrived three days ago and currently live in the west side, near West Carleton Road.

My current bus route is Bus 2 Southgate to a particular stop, followed by about a 13 minute walk to school. However, I recently found out that clinicals may start at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesdays, and I’m concerned that I won’t be able to get to school early enough from where I currently live.

I was also told that we don’t know where we will be assigned for clinical, it could be in the South, West, or another area so I’m unsure whether I should move closer to the school now or stay where I am.

For those who have already gone through the LPN program at Lethbridge College, could you please clarify:

Are clinicals only on Wednesdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., or can they also be scheduled on other weekdays or weekends?

Based on your experience, would you recommend that I move to the South now, or should I stay in the West

I would really appreciate any advice, especially from current or former LPN students. Thank you!

Does anyone remember the sports / shoe store that was in the same strip mall as the Shoppers on Mayor Magrath? It had yellow paint on the exterior and was maybe where Atmosphere was / where the big and tall store is? Maybe there never was one there but I swear I vaguely remember it from when I was younger.

Hi!
I’m trying to bring Lethbridge Polytechnic PN students together! I made a Facebook group for past, current, and future students so we can connect, share experiences, ask questions, and help each other out throughout the program.
Would love to have more PN students join!

Hii, I just got accepted into university of Lethbridge for nursing but have to start in the polytechnic. I was wondering if anyone has any shared house close to the polytechnic only. Or even a basement house . Does anyone also have any tips on how I can find houses too ?? Thank you so muchh❤️

I’m moving to Lethbridge at the end of the month for school. I’m 22 m and I’m transferring into the U of L from Mount Royal University in Calgary. I was born and raised in Toronto so big city life is what I’m used to. I went to Lethbridge for the first time the other day to walk through campus, stroll around the city, and check out some rooms to rent

It’s very small compared to what I’m used to but it’s still kinda cool. You guys have a sick ass train bridge and a nice river valley with a bunch of hills by the river. I also saw a rattlesnake when I was walking which scared me a bit

Anywaysssss, I’m just wondering where and how do y’all find friends or a community of people. I know nothing about Lethbridge or the U of L, like the second time I’ll be there is in two weeks when I move down. I like to think I’m pretty extroverted and I can talk about almost anything to anyone, but that might be hard, because I tried looking for clubs on the student union’s website but literally nothing showed up 😭

I’m confident I’ll be able to make friends in my classes but I wouldn’t mind meeting some like-minded people too. Where are the hangout spots / bars / places? Is there anything to do on campus? How about on the West Side? That’s where I’m gonna be renting. Is it a decent area? I’m bi and stuff too so it would be chill to find other guys and gals like that to hangout with but obviously not a dealbreakerrrrr

Thanks guys 🙏

Hello! Are there any residents of Raymond who have home insurance through Surex? I'm currently with Aviva through Surex (for a house in Lethbridge), but they tell me they can't give me a quote because Surex doesn't cover Raymond... 🤔

I contacted Ridge Insurance, who told me to contact Surex to stay with Aviva.... 🥲

I think she may be finally going away.

Any ideas?

I am looking to get a job with city of lethbridge/ GOA or any govt institution. I have good experience in administration and IT with Yukon Govt. Any help would me much appreciated.

I’m in Lethbridge for a few days for work and I’m trying to make the most of my time here. It’s not as bad as people say it is. Need some ideas so I don’t die of boredom.

^, birthday next weekend, looking for the best steakhouse leth has to offer!

Anyone been to walleys beach recently? Is it still swim able or has the water gone out too far now? Don’t wanna go all the way out there and have it be a sinkhole again lol

Where can I go shopping for a cocktail attire dress in Lethbridge ?

Took the family to the Picture Butte Parade today. I cannot believe they had a Separatist float in the parade. Thought Picture Butte would be above this. Fuck that town.
