More than ever, we are seeing partnerships develop that create dynamic environments for success. Our Board of Director’s established a long term-goal to ensure that Lethbridge is recognized and respected as a vital player in the provincial and national marketplace. We’ve made strides on this through undertakings like the ‘You Belong Here’ Labour Force Initiative and Team Lethbridge. Most recently, we launched our ‘Mind Blowing Facts’ campaign which is intended to pro-actively raise awareness of our city’s value and enhance the probability of success for our businesses, organizations and post-secondary institutions. It is the collective participation of numerous partner organizations that contribute to the success of these efforts. Together, we want to attract quality businesses, qualified workers and enthusiastic students.

And, our numerous hospitality industry partners are ensuring we offer the friendliest service to convention planners and delegates interested in our unique conference environment.

As you’ll see on this website, there are many reasons why Lethbridge is an attractive place to live, learn, invest, visit and do business. With two exceptional post-secondary institutions and two research centres, we combine our agriculture strengths with a knowledge-based culture that is one of the most important resources we have. To encourage continued growth in a knowledge-based economy, we have recently celebrated the grand opening of a Technology Commercialization Centre in Lethbridge. tecconnect - An Alberta centre for new commerce is designed to attract, incubate and develop technology companies through commercialization of products and services. The centre will have an Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) focus with a specific emphasis in geospatial imaging.

I invite you to examine our city through this information. Then come to southern Alberta to explore our community and meet the amazing people like our Board Members, who provide inspired leadership and examine all the possibilities for the future. We’re confident you will find good reasons to Choose Lethbridge too!
