Jul 24, 2025 | 9:13 AM

The Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce is looking to recognize outstanding businesses, entrepreneurs, and young professionals.

It has opened nominations for both the Top 40 Under 40 and the Lethbridge Business Awards.

The Top 40 Under Forty program is returning after a five-year hiatus.

It celebrates those under the age of 40 who are leading in their businesses or industries, bringing positive recognition to the city, innovating new ways to serve the community, mentoring others, and building a stronger and more vibrant Lethbridge.

“These changemakers represented the very best of what Lethbridge has to offer: talent, drive, and a deep commitment to making our city a better place to live, work, and grow,” reads a statement from the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce.
