City of Lethbridge launches Gratitude in Play Campaign

Every day we should show a bit of gratitude, but September 21st is actually World Gratitude Day – a time to reflect and express gratitude and appreciation.

In this spirit, the City of Lethbridge has launched the Gratitude in Play campaign, which aims to highlight the important role community members play in making sports and recreation more enjoyable and inclusive.

The city is encouraging residents to nominate individuals who help make parks, gyms, and fields more fun and welcoming places.

Although this is a new initiative for the city, World Gratitude Day has been celebrated globally since 1965.
