Major Sporting Events It is with great pleasure to announce that Little League Baseball Canada has chosen Lethbridge to be home of the Junior Little League Canadian Championships for three years from 2010 to 2012. The Lethbridge Sport Council and the Lethbridge Little League community would like to thank everyone who supported us to help make our bid for this Championship successful. The 2012 Alberta Summer Games have been rewarded to Lethbridge. "We know it's time for the games to come back to Lethbridge. This city has proven itself many times to hold excellent games. There is a wonderful volunteer base here, you have great facilties, and the City of Lethbridge really knows how to open up and welcome people. We're really pleased to be back in Lethbridge, " said Minister Cindy Ady (courtesy of CJOC Radio).
Minister Cindy Ady, "We've got about $550,000 in money that will come to Lethbridge in various grants. These games will also bring attention to the region, they bring economic development to the region, and activity to the region, but also it's the pride that you feel and the City of Lethbridge is going to come through these games and feel proud of their city and proud of what they've done. You just can't put a price tag on that." (courtesy of CJOC Radio) |
