At Economic Development Lethbridge (EDL), we are proud to serve as a support system, a community collaborator and advocate for the continued evolution, growth and prosperity of Lethbridge.
Together with our 25-member volunteer Board of Directors, we serve as stewards of the economic strategy for the city. We foster collaboration among industry and business, governments and institutions while also providing businesses access to the information and support needed to relocate, start or grow.
