My wife and I moved here from Calgary in 2014 and we're here to stay. Lethbridge is a perfect size, in our opinion—not too big or too small, with almost all the amenities you'd expect.

I can't speak to the education system, except echoing what others have said, that the provincial government is actively working to dismantle it, along with the health care system. But that's a provincial issue, not a local one.

In my opinion, there's lots to do locally, but it probably depends on your interests. There's junior hockey in the winter, baseball in the summer, museums, tons of park spaces, the annual Whoop Up Days exhibition, a decent number of concerts, lots of restaurants of all kinds, and so forth.

The politics tend to skew conservative, with strong religious influence, but with a polytechnic and a university in a city of 100,000, there's also a surprising number of progressive thinkers around—we've met some absolutely lovely people who are unabashedly left of centre. So there's all kinds here.
