Downtown Lethbridge BRZ

The Downtown Lethbridge Business Revitalization Zone (BRZ), established in 1987, is a visionary collective of business leaders who believe that the heart of the city beats in its center core.

The BRZ has succeeded through close cooperation on mutual interests in adding the necessary vibrancy to make that heart beat with a strong and steady pulse.

Through promoting, marketing and advocacy, our downtown has regained the economic and social prominence that it had once enjoyed during its early history.

As a non-profit association, the BRZ is funded by the 530+ businesses it represents through a tax levy.

Membership in the Downtown BRZ is automatic; each business continues to be a member if it falls within the downtown commercial district boundaries. The BRZ is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who represent business owners from within the zone. The Board works with a full-time Executive Director, Marketing Coordinator and a Clean Sweep Program Job Coordinator.

The BRZ also provides public advocacy on important issues affecting the downtown core. It maintains partnerships with the City of Lethbridge, cultural venues, service groups and other non-profit agencies.

Downtown Lethbridge is an ideal business environment in a premium centralized location, with a unique mix of retailers, restaurants, coffee shops and professional services.
