LETHBRIDGE, AB – Nearly 300 guests were in attendance at Friday’s Awards of Excellence in Housing gala.

It was put on by the Building Industry & Land Development (BILD) Lethbridge association.

“To me, it’s a real gift to give back,” says BILD Lethbridge Executive Officer Bridget Mearns. “I know how hard [our members] work, not only for the association but how hard they work for the citizens of Lethbridge to make sure they have good quality neighbourhoods and homes we’re going to live in and people are going to live well into the future.”
