    I moved to Lethbridge from France 4 months ago, Lethbridge is an awesome city with a great community. You're 1 or 2 hours drive from lot of things to do (like Waterton, the rockies ... ) I love that city !

      😢 Yes I agree. I moved away from downtown because of that. But I've noticed in the last year it's gotten amazingly better and I don't know why. They didn't just shuffle people off somewhere so I'm not sure. So it is a great little city all around. 😊

    Really wanting to escape the ridiculous housing prices in bc. Currently living in kamloops bc and the housing market here has gotten out of control. Average house costing a whopping $650k with a population of only 100k. Lethbridge is definitely on our radar. We are really wanting to start fresh with the opportunity to give our family an affordable home. Medicine hat has also been another one to consider but i dont know alot about either city.

    Don't forget the vehicle transfer tax in BC. The Provincial Govt likes to label it as PST on vehicles but its not. It's a 12% transfer tax on the purchase of USED vehicles even if you purchase the vehicle from out of Province and bring it into BC. Imagine if you had to pay 12% tax for buying your neighbour's washing machine. Well you will if you buy his car!

    The biggest con for me has to do with your point about population. If you need any kind of specialist, you'll likely have to go to Calgary. This can be huge problem when you have a sick/dying pet or a car that is breaking down and can't handle the road trip.
