It has been around for five decades but as of next month it will be no more. The Black Velvet bottling facility will be shutting its doors in Lethbridge. Company officials with its parent company Heaven Hill Brands say keeping Black Velvet open was financially unfeasible. They said a decline in the efficiency of the bottling process at the plant led to too much of a production increase which led to the closure. The CEO of Economic Development Lethbridge, Trevor Lewington, says it is unfortunate that this division of Black Velvet is pulling up stakes and moving to the U.S. meaning there will be some job losses
