LETHBRIDGE, AB – “In light of rapidly rising COVID-19 cases in Alberta, Lethbridge College has made the decision to cancel this year’s Coulee Fest,” the press release reads.
The fest was originally going to take place Saturday, September 18 on the college campus, and decision-makers from across the college community agreed that the time wasn’t right to host a large festival.
“When we announced this year’s festival, Alberta was in a period of rapidly declining COVID-19 cases,” says Dr. Paula Burns, Lethbridge College President, and CEO.
“However, the environment has since changed. We recognize that Alberta’s health care system is strained, and we do not want to take the chance of adding more cases to the system. We are a tight-knit community, and we want to support our health care workers, many of whom are our alumni.”
