Each year we honour the leaders, thinkers and doers who got their starts at Lethbridge College.
Since 1992, the Lethbridge College community has gathered to honour the remarkable success of alumni whose perseverance, determination and grit set them apart and led them to rise to the top of their careers and communities.
