curated in partnership with the Lethbridge Historical Society
This is the story of Lethbridge as a community: how we see and identify our neighbourhoods, and how those places help define us. Delving into the histories of Chinatown, Hardieville, Glendale-Dieppe and everything in between, the exhibit contrasts “official” narratives with residents’ lived experience. This collaboration between the Galt and the Lethbridge Historical Society brings you some of the lesser-known stories in our city’s development, and some unexpected, surprising ways in which residents have shaped the places where they live.
          
        
      
            
  
  
    
    
    
West Lethbridge was considered a “planners’ dream”—a chance to experiment with contoured streets and a new “neighbourhood village” concept incorporating residential, retail and recreational services.
