Businesses who call Lethbridge home have a distinct advantage when it comes to shipping their products all over the world. Lethbridge sits just one hour north of the only 24 hour commercial Canada/United States border crossing located at Coutts. This access allows goods to move freely in and out of Lethbridge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Lethbridge has a dynamic railway system, which allows for the movement of goods in bulk anywhere in North America including ports along the Pacific Ocean. Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) is the first single-line rail network connecting Canada the United States and Mexico and the CPKC railyard sits 15 minutes outside of Lethbridge.
Lethbridge Airport continues to see investment from the City of Lethbridge. These infrastructure upgrades will increase the capacity of the airport and ideally lead to more flights in and out of Lethbridge and more opportunities for investment in the south end of the city where the airport is located.
Our city understands the importance of a thriving Supply Chain & Logistics sector. A dedicated Supply Chain & Logistics microcredential course has been developed, offering residents the opportunity to gain skills, or reskill for a career in this ever evolving sector. Lethbridge also plays host to an annual Supply Chain conference in partnership with the Canadian Institute of Transportation and Trucking (CITT).
