LETHBRIDGE REGION L
ethbridge is home to the famed High Level Bridge, the more than 100-year-old railway structure spanning the Oldman River valley that is one of the city’s most pho-
tographed attractions. But Lethbridge, which sprang up around the area’s coal
industry (the community’s original name was Coal Banks), offers visitors much more than photo ops with the railway bridge, as readers will discover on the following pages, where they’ll discover the region has much to offer visitors and locals in the way of entertainment, tantalizing sights and fun things to do.
