Background:
All
about the Lethbridge Twinning Society:
Patriotism * Commitment = Results!
Join us to promote friendship, peace and understanding among people from
different countries in a people to people organization of goodwill and
understanding.
The sister-city movement was begun by the late president Dwight D. Eisenhower of the United States. There was a need for greater contact between people with different views and cultures to lower world tension to bring about a world peace based on mutual understanding, respect and friendship.
This need continues today. Another name for "Sister-City" is "Twin City". Either term is acceptable and can be used interchangeably.
The Lethbridge Twinning Society is a non-profit grass-roots citizens organization dedicated to promote friendship and understanding between Lethbridge and its "Twin Cities". It is not an extension of the City of Lethbridge administration, but it does receive their endorsement.
