Lethbridge Game Changers
Our mission is to empower people in sport.
In a rapidly evolving landscape of sport in Canada, where challenges have cast a shadow over the nation's sport system, the Lethbridge Sport Council leads the way with our groundbreaking initiative, Lethbridge Game Changers: Empowering People in Sport, aligned with the visionary measures announced by the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Sport, on May 11, 2023.
Our Vision: Uplifting Community Sport
At the heart of this movement lies a simple yet profound vision: to uplift community sport, empower individuals, and create a safe and sustainable sport culture. We believe in working collaboratively, from the grassroots to the national level, to drive positive change. Our focus pillars will redefine the future of community sport in Lethbridge.
