Lethbridge/Sikóóhkotok is home to nearly 30 Municipal Historic Resources, more than a dozen Provincial Historic Resources, four National Historic Events, one National Historic Person and more than 100 archaeological sites. The City of Lethbridge Heritage Management Plan (HMP) was developed in 2007 to establish a framework for the City to protect Lethbridge's diverse Historic Places now and for the future.

​During the past 15 years, Lethbridge has successfully hosted all but one elite curling event and that could soon change as the city prepares a bid for the 2025 Canadian Olympic Curling trials.

The event would feature both men's and women's curling, with the winners earning spots at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
