Are you planning a visit to Lethbridge, or searching a location for your next conference or convention? Let me tell you a bit about what you’ll find in one of the best cities in Canada. The qualities which make Lethbridge so fabulously unique will ensure our community makes the perfect location for your next event.

First of all, let’s talk about location. Lethbridge is situated in southern Alberta, very close to the US border. We are located so close to the Rocky Mountains that you can often see the tips of the mountain peaks, and catching a glimpse of their majesty will convince you that this wilderness playground is actually calling your name. Our physical location means we are blessed with a temperate climate including plenty of sunshine and the warmth of the Chinook wind.

Consider our size. Lethbridge’s population is under the 100,000 mark which makes it incredibly easy to access any location within the city. Our well-designed and maintained roads system will take you diagonally from corner to corner in just over fifteen minutes. Should you arrive via the Lethbridge County Airport, you’re guaranteed a personal standard of service without the frenetic activity found in major airports. Lethbridge might be a smaller city, but we stand taller than the rest when you measure the wealth of opportunities which have developed here thanks to the fact that we are home to the Lethbridge College and the University of Lethbridge, along with a myriad of progressive research facilities and innovative businesses.

Everything you need for an enjoyable stay is found in Lethbridge. New hotel developments have been built to accommodate our guests and help you feel at home. We are the goods and services heart of the region so you will find a wide variety of shopping, dining, services and entertainment. You’ll soon appreciate that the key to our community atmosphere is our citizens – people who still care about their neighbours and show visitors a warm welcome.

Lifestyle is the biggest factor drawing people to Lethbridge. With everything close at hand, people here have more time to enjoy leisure activities with family and friends. I invite you to experience the season and a taste of recreation in Lethbridge by stealing a bit of time from your business sessions to take a relaxing and revitalizing walk on our extensive pathway system to the river valley or through one of our beautiful, peaceful parks. World-class arts or culture are also yours to experience here.

When you come to experience Lethbridge with your own senses, I hope I have the opportunity to personally welcome you to my favourite place – on any map.
