Convocation 2020
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and with recommendations from provincial health officials, Lethbridge College has made the difficult and disappointing – but also necessary – decision to cancel Convocation.
We value the health and safety of our students, staff and community, and we want to do all we can to support ongoing efforts to slow the spread of the disease.
