After nine years of bringing the community together each September, we are sharing that Lethbridge Polytechnic’s Coulee Fest will not continue.
As post-secondary institutions across Canada focus on shifting priorities, we have had to carefully review where our time and resources are best spent. While Coulee Fest has been a successful and well-loved event, continuing to deliver it at the scale it requires is no longer the right fit. Instead, we must focus on work that most directly supports students and the long-term sustainability of the institution.
We recognize many people in our community are facing similar challenges, and we thank you for your understanding.
We are also deeply grateful to all our attendees, volunteers, students and sponsors who helped make Coulee Fest a fun and meaningful tradition over the years. While this chapter is ending, we remain committed to finding new ways to connect with and celebrate our community in the future, and we look forward continuing that work together.
