I\u2019ve lived in Lethbridge for 22 years. One thing I have heard quite often is that Lethbridge is a Mormon town. Some people even claim that Mormons sit in high positions of power in this city, which is weird considering that\u2014according to my knowledge\u2014no Mormon has been mayor, and I believe only one has even sat on city council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
One would think that as a Mormon myself, I\u2019d relish in the idea that Lethbridge is a Mormon town. However, this claim is rarely ever said in a celebratory way; it\u2019s always accusatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I already knew that Mormons made up a minority of the population of the city\u2014unlike some of the surrounding communities, Lethbridge was founded by coal miners, not by Mormon irrigation workers\u2014so with the help of a friend, I decided to do some research recently and set this rumour to rest once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
