I moved to Lethbridge from France 4 months ago, Lethbridge is an awesome city with a great community. You're 1 or 2 hours drive from lot of things to do (like Waterton, the rockies ... ) I love that city !
Very cool! Glad you loving it here!
What u do for work?
Everybody I know says that the biggest problem is that Lethbridge is very windy all the time and very annoying.....
I plan on attending The university of lethbridge as an international student , came to this video knowing nothing but now am more confident with my decision. ❤
Glad I could help!
Lived in Lethbridge for years, if dodging homeless people harassing you on the sidewalk, or tip toeing needles in the parks, it's the place for you!
😢 Yes I agree. I moved away from downtown because of that. But I've noticed in the last year it's gotten amazingly better and I don't know why. They didn't just shuffle people off somewhere so I'm not sure. So it is a great little city all around. 😊
The city has tuned around quite a bit
I agree!
Pro or Con depending on how to look at it, Heavy Christian Population, especially on the south side
You're killing it with these very informative and well produced videos!
thanks so much! This one was a lot of work!
Just moved to Lethbridge from Calgary. my house here is half the price it was in Calgary. Great video‼️
Thanks so much! Glad to hear you made the move!
I live in bc and my family is nit doing good! Hopefully moving to lethbridge in a year fingers crossed 🤞
i hope so too
I did it . I'm here now . Left bc in 2023 . Worst mistake of my life .
I'm considering moving to AB, my concern is migraine headaches from drastic temperature changes and winds. Great video. You packed it down well. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
South Alberta looks great, I am from Colombia and I got a Job in Bow Island, near Lethbridge, I am very exciting, in the future I want to visit Lethbridge and another beautiful pleaces nearby.
I’m sure you will love it
Want to move from Ontario. Only concern is job. I have lots of experience in supply chain and driving large vehicles.
that shouldnt be a problem here, there are quite a few transport companies in lethbridge!
@@kurtishawkins what about warehouses??
Really wanting to escape the ridiculous housing prices in bc. Currently living in kamloops bc and the housing market here has gotten out of control. Average house costing a whopping $650k with a population of only 100k. Lethbridge is definitely on our radar. We are really wanting to start fresh with the opportunity to give our family an affordable home. Medicine hat has also been another one to consider but i dont know alot about either city.
Totally understandable - there are a lot of people in your shoes doing the same thing - fell free to binge this channel! I have a lof of videos about Lethbridge so you can learn more!
🎉🎉 wow very informative I love your videos am looking forward to go to Lethbridge
Glad you like them! Lethbridge will welcome you!
Thanks! I feel like a lot of these also apply to Medicine Hat where I’m planning on moving from BC this summer
Accept for what I said about oil and gas - Medicine Hat is smaller as well. Pros and cons to each
Medicine Hat is great to but a little older style.
Nice informative video. Does Lethbridge have enough white collar jobs in general? and technology jobs in particular?
Is there any place for forklift operator in this city?
How to find a job in Lethbridge? I'm from Belgium, but I'd like to move to Canada, it's my dream!
I am coming to uof lethbridge in September intake for bachelor degree.how is the city for prt time works? O
No shortage of pt work
I live here that is a serious pro.

Hi. Just wondering if Lethbridge bike friendly. Can see 2 parts of the city are quite far from each other. Can I manage the city by bike?. Greets from Austria. consider to come 24MAR 24 for relocation research. Thanks. Alex
It is… the hill can be a challenge but if you live on the north or south you likely won’t come
West often.
Hi Hawkins, what a great job you've been doing. Kudos to you. I was undecided on the Alberta city to move to, but after watching this vlog, I have decided to give Lethbridge a shot. But one more thing please, how robust is the job market? As I'll be searching for a job in the first week of arrival in Lethbridge. Hoping to hear from you soon. Peace✌️
Hello - this is a tough question to answer based on your industry - but lethbridge has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Alberta :)
@@kurtishawkins Thank you for the response. I intend to work in either the energy or manufacturing industry. So what's the prospect of securing employment sooner?
@@user-hg3mf5bb5f Not sure, sorry! thats impossible for me, a realtor to answer :S sorry! good luck
You forgot to add the library to the Pros list. Library cards are free and most late fees can be forgiven.
Good call!
Don't forget the vehicle transfer tax in BC. The Provincial Govt likes to label it as PST on vehicles but its not. It's a 12% transfer tax on the purchase of USED vehicles even if you purchase the vehicle from out of Province and bring it into BC. Imagine if you had to pay 12% tax for buying your neighbour's washing machine. Well you will if you buy his car!
That is crazy!
If you promote too much, it will get poached. Good things should be hidden and then discovered with love and respect
I love these vidoes. Keep pumping my home value up.
I’ll keep the videos coming
The biggest con for me has to do with your point about population. If you need any kind of specialist, you'll likely have to go to Calgary. This can be huge problem when you have a sick/dying pet or a car that is breaking down and can't handle the road trip.
We just had an emergency with our cat and took him to the pet hospital here…?
@kurtishawkins basic stuff is fine. If you need any kind of specialist, though. Like a vet that specializes in neurological issues, for example.
Land transfer tax is CRAZY!
It is! So glad we dont have it in Alberta!

I think the average 1 bedroom is $900-$1200 per month
What about the job market? Will it be difficult to find a job?
im not sure i can answer that question... however, we do have one of the lowest unemployment rates in alberta
Thks. But what about jobs. Is it easy to find a job in Lethbridge?
we have the lowest unemployment in Alberta.
How about JOBS in Lethbridge, are there suffice IT companies, Hospitals for Healthcare workers?
I believe i mentioned that Lethbridge has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Alberta. One of the TOP employers in Lethbridge is Albert Health Services!

yes - check out all the videos on my channel to learn more about lethbridge - I don't have anything about medicine hat.. its a great city. But a lot smaller with fewer amenities.
@@rupanshahgbhai kaam vagera mil jaata hai Lethbridge main?? Hum bhi ON se move hona soch rahe
Don't go to UofL for computer science.
Guess I'll scratch that off my list then!
hey Kurtis, how is the tech scene in Lethbridge?
What do you mean? I have a meta quest 3… does that count? Haha
@@kurtishawkins hahaha, I mean tech jobs. Sweet bro.
@@kurtishawkins I've decided to be moving to Lethbridge. It's literally my #1 choice. I hope the economy picks up again soon so I can make my way there.
@@AS-zj4jv haha just kidding - I think it depends in what feild still
Excellent. Lots of tech jobs. Shortage of people. Let me know when you are coming, I have a few places to rent out
Am really impressed
Thanks!
I love kiteboarding .so looking forward to going there.
Is there some specific reason or rule that states that the so-called C.C. must put on some stupid expression on its silly yap in its thumbnail photo…?
What does cc mean?
