Lethbridge at a Glance
Alberta's southernmost city, Lethbridge's most magnificent characteristic is
its coulees—a network of large rolling hills that were formed by glacial
spill water over ten thousand years ago. Sitting on a hillside, the University
of Lethbridge is a unique building that appears to emerge out of this landscape.
Crossing the coulees and the city's river source, the Old Man River, is the
world's largest High
Level Bridge—an impressive structure at 314 feet. The area's rich history
can be explored at Fort
Whoop Up and the Sir
Alexander Galt Museum. During the Second World War, Japanese Canadians were
forcibly relocated from the west coast to the Lethbridge area where they were
made to work as farm labourers. This accounts for a strong Japanese cultural
presence today, a fine example being the impressive Nikka
Yuko Japanese Garden. Also standing as a symbol for amends now made, the
garden's name means Japanese and Canadian friendship. The WorldWeb.com Travel

Macleod and Fernie offer information
