Virtual Edition
SportFest 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic. In the meantime we still want to help our exhibitors and local sport organizations promote themselves to the community and make the connections needed for our community to access the quality sport opportunities they offer. In 2020 we offered 'virtual SportFest' where we offered local sport organizations and businesses the opportunity to purchase a promotional package from the Lethbridge Sport Council. The cost will be the same as SportFest registration would have been. The package included:
- 'long-form' informational video (5-7 minutes in length)
- 'short-form' promotional video (30-60 seconds in length)
- online magazine based on informational video
Any organizations still wishing to partner with us for this promotional package can contact [email protected] for more information.
