Photo by Andres Salazar. When thinking about the highlights of Lethbridge, some places and clubs will come to mind faster than others. These days, when talking about local pizza places, Two Guys and a Pizza Place is the most common answer. For music venues, it seems to be a toss-up between The Owl and The Slice. Though, Lethbridge is also home to one of the most hidden of hidden gems. Located in the city’s north side, inside the Nordbridge Senior Center’s recreation room, is the Lethbridge Table Tennis Club. The club…

    Written by Andres Salazar Lethbridge’s Competitive Fighting Game Scene  The past couple of years have seen the growth of competitive gaming, with titles like League of Legends, Valorant, and Overwatch leading the increasingly fast rise of esports. What used to be a niche gaming branch is now more and more common, with many post-secondary institutions, including our city’s Polytechnic College, now even having official esports teams.
