Stuff the Bus campaign wrapped up successfully

More than 1,600 backpacks found their way into the hands of local students for the 2025–2026 school year, thanks to the community’s support of MyCityCare’s 2024 Stuff the Bus campaign — an initiative aimed at easing the back-to-school burden for hundreds of families in Lethbridge and the surrounding area.

Stuff the Bus was launched in Lethbridge in 2016
