A Smile in Every Bottle: Sicks’ Breweries Ltd celebrates the 100th anniversary of Old Style Pilsner (first brewed here in 1926) and shows how Lethbridge’s family-run brewery became a global leader in beer production and distribution. Dried Out: Prohibition in Alberta examines how the moral and political crusade to ban alcohol had unintended consequences, both good and bad.

The Galt is hosting the Southern Alberta Regional Heritage Fair for students up to grade nine. The fair program encourages students to explore Canadian heritage in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. Preparing and presenting a heritage fair project helps students develop critical thinking, historical thinking, writing, research, performance, and public speaking skills. These projects are initially shown in the schools and the best are chosen to present at the Southern Alberta Regional Heritage Fair.
This program provides art activities with a connection to local history, museum exhibitions and culture for adults and seniors, including those requiring accessibility.
