Southern Alberta Prairie city — anchored by the University of Lethbridge and the Old Man River coulee geography. Downtown Lethbridge and Westside are the walkable cores. Canada has no DNV; eTA 6 months. Alberta has the lowest provincial income tax in Canada. The structural draws are unusually sunny climate (320+ sunny days/year — among Canada's highest), gateway access to Crowsnest Pass (1h west) and Waterton Lakes National Park (90min southwest), and university-town infrastructure. Winter wind ("the Chinook") brings frequent warm-ups but also extreme cold snaps.
