Lethbridge

The city of Lethbridge in southern Alberta is known for its sunny skies. Located on the Oldman River, Lethbridge has a population of around 84,000, Lethbridge has all of the advantages of big city living combined with the safety and community found in small town life.

Lethbridge is close to the Canada/U.S. border and the Canadian Rocky mountains. In fact, it is this proximity to the mountains combined with our high altitude that create our mild climate and warm winter temperatures. The Chinook winds melt the snow cover and create the highest winter temperatures in the prairies.
