On Facebook and Twitter the other day, I petitioned my dear followers to answer this question:
“What brought you to Lethbridge? What makes you stay? Good or bad – I’m curious to know!”
Here are a few of the more interesting responses:

Sarah: My Dad was transferred here in 1998, and I fell in love with Lethbridge and its Arts community! It is a great size city to raise my children in, has great schools, wonderful people, and lots of wind to blow any worries away! |

Kelly: Schooling brought me here, career opportunities and my fiance (and our newly purchased house) keep us here. |
