Livability

Choose the place that’s right for you

A small, prairie city of 85,000 people, Lethbridge is located in the southern part of Alberta, in Western Canada. Lethbridge sits on the doorstep of the Canadian Rockies and is only an hour away from the majestic Waterton Lakes National Park, two hours from Calgary and an hour from the U.S. border. It is bisected by the Oldman River, creating valley parkland with scenic coulees and miles of running and hiking trails. Warm westerly Chinook winds give Lethbridge some of the most moderate winters in Western Canada.

Lethbridge boasts two modern post-secondary institutions, a rarity for a community its size. Its smaller size, lower cost of living and higher quality of life make Lethbridge the community of choice for many.
