Notes on this record

  • Headcounts are Economic Development Lethbridge's 2017 table (the newest published list we could read); its live data platform (data.chooselethbridge.ca, 'Major Employers' tab) is a script-rendered dashboard with no readable figures. Treat all 2017 numbers as dated.
  • Large employers on the 2017 list left out because their own site could not be opened: Lethbridge School Division (lethsd.ab.ca robots.txt 'Disallow: /'; 1,500 staff in 2017), Palliser Regional Schools (pallisersd.ab.ca robots.txt 'Disallow: /'; 519), PepsiCo Foods Canada (pepsico.ca robots.txt 403; 400), Richardson Oilseed (richardson.ca robots 'Disallow: /'; 160), Southland Trailer Corp (robots 'Disallow: /'; 205), H&R Transport (robots unreachable; 143), Lethbridge Iron Works (unreachable; 130), SRI Homes (unreachable; 139), Haul-All Equipment (bot-challenge page; 130), Pratt & Whitney Canada (prattwhitney.com Cloudflare 'Just a moment'; 141), MNP (mnp.ca 403 per the Calgary pass; 124), CP Rail / CPKC (script-only bot challenge; 250). Minute Muffler (head office in Lethbridge per Wikipedia lead) — minutemuffler.com robots.txt 403, no row.
  • Also on the 2017 list but not given rows (retail/food-service chains with only store staff here): McDonald's 400, Sobeys 338, Costco 285, Save-On-Foods 267, Real Canadian Superstore 225, Shoppers Drug Mart 212, Davis Auto Group 211, Canadian Tire 189, Western Tractor 163, Casino Lethbridge 155, Home Depot 125, Browns Social House 124, RBC 120, KB Heating & Air Conditioning 109, Firestore Restaurant & Bar 104; Alberta Government 900 (province-wide employer, no single Lethbridge site). McCain Foods (217) is in Coaldale, just outside the city.
  • Economic Development Lethbridge names Cavendish Farms, Maple Leaf Foods, Richardson International, McCain Foods and PepsiCo Foods Canada among the region's global food processors.
  • No venture-funded software/tech company headquartered in Lethbridge could be confirmed; EDL's Technology & Innovation and Tecconnect pages list no companies.
