Low German-Speaking Mennonites Lethbridge College | June 6, 2023 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News

An event was held at the Lethbridge College on Tuesday to highlight the Low German-Speaking Mennonite community in our region.

According to organizers, there are around 40,000 Mennonites in southern Alberta.

Amanda Sawatzky, one of the keynote speakers at the event, explained a little of who the Mennonites are along with their some of their belief system.

The Lethbridge Historical Society says back in 1940, two Mennonite churches in Vauxhall, Alberta were burned down due to anti-German sentiment during the Second World War.
