Certainly not on the scale of the above examples, but there was some movement on instituting a regional system of government with the City and County of Lethbridge and the Towns of Coaldale, Coalhurst and Picture Butte. The City did assume policing over Coaldale and was to do the same in Picture Butte (and changed the name to Lethbridge Regional Police) while the water systems had been integrated as well. Transit service was to be extended to Coaldale and Coalhurst. Not sure if there was to be more integration, but the concept seems to be off the table as Coaldale has now withdrawn from the policing agreement, building the RCMP a new HQ.
