After more than two years of construction, the 268,000-square-foot Agri-Food Hub & Trade Centre is set to start hosting events in Lethbridge later this spring.
“The Agri-Food Hub & Trade Centre will drive tourism to our city, create opportunities for local businesses, give a place for the agriculture and agri-food industries to highlight their value and become a centrepiece for our community to come together,” said Mike Warkentin, Lethbridge & District Exhibition CEO.
“The possibilities presented by this facility are endless.”
