Lethbridge Facts
Lethbridge is a city in the province of Alberta, Canada. Lethbridge is the largest city in southern Alberta. Lethbridge is Alberta's fourth-largest city by population after Red Deer, Calgary and Edmonton. It is also the third-largest by area after Calgary and Edmonton. The nearby Canadian Rockies contribute to the city's cool summers, mild winters, and windy climate. Lethbridge lies southeast of Calgary on the Oldman River.
Lethbridge is the commercial, financial, transportation and industrial centre of southern Alberta. The city's economy developed from drift mining for coal in the late 19th century and agriculture in the early 20th century. Half of the workforce in Lethbridge is employed in the health, education, retail and hospitality sectors, and the top five employers are government-based.
The only university in Alberta south of Calgary is in Lethbridge, and two of the three colleges in southern Alberta have campuses in the city. Cultural venues in the city include performing art theatres, museums and sports centres.
In 2006, Lethbridge had a predominantly white population; only one out of eight people were non-European,compared to one in ten in 2001. Of those, 40 percent were aboriginal, most of whom came from the nearby Peigan and and Kainai nations. Of the remaining 60 percent, Japanese, Chinese and Latin American made up the largest portion at over 1,200, 920 and 705 respectively. According to the 2006 census, more than 85 percent of residents spoke English as a first language. 4 percent spoke German, over 2 percent spoke Dutch and almost 1 percent each spoke French, Chinese and Spanish as their first language. The next most commonly spoken languages were Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian, Japanese, Italian, Persian, and Tagalog.
Lethbridge was designated a Cultural Capital of Canada for the 2004–2005 season. The Southern Alberta Ethnic Association (Multicultural Heritage Centre) promotes multiculturalism and ethnic heritage in the community.
