19 Regional Organizations Preparing for 8th Team Lethbridge Mission to Edmonton
Oct 25, 2024
Lethbridge, AB…The 8th edition of Team Lethbridge, consisting of 19 organizations will be visiting Edmonton early next month to advocate on behalf of our city and region with the provincial government. The initial Team Lethbridge mission took place in October of 2008 and since then Lethbridge and area organizations have been meeting on a bi-annual basis to discuss how our community can help contribute to the success of Alberta. Previous trips have proved effective in communicating that Lethbridge and Southern Alberta can be a location of choice for economic growth and diversity, pilot projects and a location where business, industry, government, and education can all work together for the better of our community as well as the province.
“For the past 16 years, Team Lethbridge has consistently communicated to provincial governments the numerous benefits of investing in Southern Alberta. As Team Lethbridge continues to evolve, it bolsters the responsible growth and regional development of education, advanced education, tourism, economic and trade diversification, agriculture, research and much more. Team Lethbridge has successfully attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in direct investment and generated billions of dollars in indirect investment.” Hon. Nathan Neudorf - MLA Lethbridge East/Minister of Affordability and Utilities

• Elevate the unique strengths and contributions of the Lethbridge region among provincial decision makers.
• Convey appreciation for investment/funding in Lethbridge and communicate the additional impact possible with
