LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge & District Exhibition is looking for your input.

Development is underway on the new Agri-Food Hub and Trade Centre at Exhibition Park in Lethbridge, and the Exhibition is hoping to get some feedback on how it can best serve the community moving forward.

An online survey is available for residents to share their thoughts. It can be accessed here.

As an added bonus, at the end of the survey, participants can enter for a draw to win one of three $150 gift cards to the Hickory Street restaurant in Stirling.

Horizon Consulting is conducting the survey on behalf of the Lethbridge & District Exhibition.

The survey will close on March 1, 2021.

Last June, the provincial government announced a $27.8 million investment to Exhibition Park for the new 268,000 square foot Agri-Food Hub and Trade Centre.
