Lethbridge bound
Hi all
Newish to this site and can usually be found on the trucking section...
My family and I are planning our move to Alberta within the next year. OH has just been offered a job with H&R in Lethbridge so that is where we will based. OH is going over as soon as the paperwork is sorted out and myself and our 2 children will be following approx Feb next year.
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who is in the know about decent areas to live and any to avoid and schools etc. We will be renting for the first year at least so we will have to find a rental that will accept 2 kittys too hopefully!

Hello. We are in sunny Lethbridge and we love it. Its real family orientated here and some lovely areas to live.Erm not sure what else to say really apart from hope you have a stress free time getting here.
Lots of us lovely expats to meet here if you want when you get here.
Any thing specific you want to know?
You will love it here im sure, the peeps are so friendly, I count me blessings every day for living in such a nice City. My children are very happy here being 8 and 5 they have tons of friends at school and enjoy going every day, unless its - 30 odd that is.

Thanks for your reply. I had read that the area is nice but its good to hear it from peeps who live there now. Our children will be 12 & 4 when we come over next year. Obviously my main concern is areas to live in (or avoid like the plaque?? ) and schools....again any that should be avoided. I have read up on the net about Lethbridge and I see that the schools come under catchment areas so obviously would have to consider this. From what I have read, the west side seems to be a popular area to live in. What area do you live in if I may ask?
Anyway, thanks for the offer of meeting up....I will be over for a recce before we move so maybe could organise something then.

Re: Lethbridge bound
Car skating is fun, though my wife only likes it if she's driving. Must be a control thing because I think it's fun even as a passenger.
