Lethbridge City Hall was quiet this week. Too quiet?

This past week at City Hall had us waiting

Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.

Look, this past week, City Hall was quieter than a winter morning after a fresh snowfall. The wind, though, it was always a character, just like it always is here on the plains, reminding us of the wide-open spaces.

### What Didn't Happen

We didn't see much in the way of new movements from our civic leaders. It felt like they were in a bit of a prairie trance, watching the sky.

* Not much fresh data came out of the open data portal.

* The City Hall chambers were mostly still, echoing with the wind outside rather than new decisions.

* Even with the quiet, the talk about how folks in Lethbridge find their homes was still in the air.

It's a reminder that even when things seem still, the heart of the city keeps beating, keeps moving, just like the Oldman River flows through the *Sik-ooh-kotok* — the Blackfoot name for the coulees, meaning "place of the black rock."

Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.
