Downtown Business Revitalization Zone featured in Lethbridge Living Magazine

The Downtown is the featured 'cover story' in the lastest issue of Lethbridge Living Magazine.

Here's a short excerpt from the 'City Centered' story by Amanda Berg ...
The culture of Downtown Lethbridge has changed over the years thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Downtown Business Revitalization Zone (Downtown BRZ) and support from the City of Lethbridge. The community has embraced the changes to the downtown core, and with a 10 per cent vacancy rate today, compared to 35 per cent in 2000, it's proof Lethbridge residents are frequenting downtown more than ever. "The downtown is our identity, a connection to our past. It is the lifeblood of our community," says Managing Coordinator for the Downtown BRZ and Lethbridge Main Street Project, Ted Stilson. "If you travel to cities around the world, you go to the downtown to see what the community is about - to experience the culture." Downtown BRZ wants to prove Lethbridge is no different.


Lethbridge Living Magazine is published six times per year and reaches over 45,000 readers at homes and businesses throughout Southwestern Alberta.

Copies of the November/December issue can be picked up at Lethbridge Living - 1518 - 3rd Avenue South or at the BRZ office - 310 - 6th Street South.
