Lethbridge got its start as a frontier outpost, and the city today still retains much of that rugged adventure spirit. Get acquainted with local history – and practice your English – when you tour the Galt Museum and Archives, a collection of local cultural artifacts housed in Lethbridge's former hospital. For a glimpse at Lethbridge's outlaw past, head over to Fort Whoop-Up, the former whiskey trading post that now houses Canada's largest collection of period firearms. For a more peaceful cultural excursion, take a stroll through the Japanese Garden, built in 1967 to honor Prince and Princess Takamatsu during their visit to Lethbridge. Students at an English school in Lethbridge will find that this city has a vibrant arts scene, due in large part to the efforts of local government. With recent initiatives to revitalize public art and to expand the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, a fantastic collection of contemporary art, Lethbridge promises to remain one of Alberta's most prominent cultural centers. Students beginning or continuing their education with English courses in Lethbridge will also blend right into the thriving academic atmosphere found here, since two of the three universities located in southern Alberta have their campuses here.
