Pratt & Whitney Canada have a factory in the small city of Lethbridge, Alberta. The company employs people with your background. The climate is mild, relative to most Canadian cities. Lethbridge is one of the sunnier cities in Canada, and they experience the "Chinook" which is a strong, warm, dry wind that melts what little snow may be left. Because of the close proximity to the Rocky Mountains, (one hour driving time) the city occasionally experiences autumn, winter, and spring in a single day! The local University is well-respected for its Education Faculty.
Roses grow well here, as do the natural Cotton-wood trees in the river valley. A species of cacti also grows wild here. The local theatre troupe sells-out on every show. The city supports recycling, water conservation, and public transit. What is not to like? Costco, Wal-Mart,
Burger King, and several other franchise retailers are here for your shopping pleasure. Marks & Spencers closed about 15 years ago..
