Lethbridge
Lethbridge is a great city in which to live and study. Lethbridge has a small-town atmosphere with big-city
amenities and is close to many other great destinations. The B.C. and U.S. borders are only an hour away,
and a two-hour drive takes you to world class ski resorts, Calgary or Waterton Lakes National Park.
