International Tae-Kwon-Do event comes to Lethbridge this weekend

The Lethbridge Trade & Convention Centre will be the place to be this weekend if you love to watch traditional tae-kwon-do.

Some 520 competitors of all ages are coming in from around the world to compete including athletes from such countries as the U.S., Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, and India, to name a few.

Grand master and tournament director Darin Gibson, who was born and raised in Lethbridge, is thrilled to finally see the event become a reality.

“We’ve been planning this for about two years, discussed it with one of the international organizations, a little over two years ago, and it’s been a great process with our organizing team, since that time,” describes Gibson.
