Justin Tavernini, owner of 02 Training Centre Inc., has been elected as the new chair of the Downtown Lethbridge BRZ board.
The Downtown Lethbridge Business Revitalization Zone has a new board and a new chair coming into a critical municipal election year for the city. Justin Tavernini, owner of the O2 Training Centre Inc., will assume the chair duties, and he hopes to influence city council elections to reflect an agenda which is friendly to business, and in particular small business, in Lethbridge. “We want to see more support for business,” he said. “More support for small business, and the struggles we go through. I don’t think people realize how much entrepreneurs put into their businesses … More support from council directly toward small business and entrepreneurship is what I want to see.”
LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for fitness centers and gyms across Alberta, but after the latest easing of restrictions announced Monday, Lethbridge gym owners and gym goers are hopeful that they ve entered the smooth sailing part of a really wild ride. The recent announcement from the province of Alberta included the release of a reduced Step Two restart for Albertans. This next step included a 15 per cent capacity for libraries as well as eased restrictions for gyms and fitness centers. “Adults will be allowed to restart their fitness routines,” said health minister Tyler Shandrot. “Low intensity, individual and group fitness activities will now be allowed indoors like pilates, tai chi and indoor climbing.”
