The University of Lethbridge has announced a 25-year, $4.25M partnership with South Country Co-op and Federated Co-op to enhance the university’s athletics centre. Now named the Co-op Centre for Sport & Wellness, the centre will be modernized over the length of the partnership to maintain the quality of its services. The ULethbridge Board of Governors has additionally matched a portion of the funding to create a perpetual scholarship for students. ULethbridge Executive Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Neil Langevin said that the centre “has always been about people,” and that funding will ensure that the centre will be able to provide services for students, children, seniors, and athletes.
