A foundational shift is underway for one of the city's most storied institutions.
The Lethbridge and District Exhibition is splitting into two distinct entities: a new municipally-controlled corporation named Excite Lethbridge and the newly independent Lethbridge and District Agricultural Society.
Excite Lethbridge, led by CEO Kim Gallucci, will now operate the Agri-Food Hub, officially renaming it the Lethbridge Trade and Convention Centre.
Its mission is to attract major events and conventions, boosting the local economy.
The Agricultural Society is returning to its 1897 roots, focusing on championing Southern Alberta’s deep farming heritage.
Mayor Blaine Hyggen expressed strong support, emphasizing the goal of running the new convention centre efficiently for taxpayers.
The two groups will partner on beloved legacy events like Whoop-Up Days and the Ag Expo, ensuring community traditions continue to thrive under this new structure. Read More... |
