Lethbridge Agri-Hub and Trade Centre operator projects narrower $3.26-million loss

The Lethbridge and District Exhibition had forecast a deficit of roughly $6.4 million before new management structure put in place

The Lethbridge and District Exhibition’s finances have improved since the beginning of the year, but the organization that runs the southern Alberta city’s Agri-food Hub and Trade Centre still figures to run a multimillion-dollar deficit by the end of its fiscal year.

The 268,000-square-foot, $77-million facility, which sits on land owned by the City of Lethbridge, opened in August 2023 and features banquet salons, four meeting rooms and outdoor patio areas.
