About LeNA
Our History
The Lethbridge Nepalese Association (LeNA) was established in 2010 by a group of Nepalese immigrants who recognized the need for a community organization to support new arrivals and preserve cultural traditions. From its humble beginnings with just 15 families, LeNA has grown to represent over 200 Nepalese families in the Lethbridge area, becoming an integral part of the city's multicultural landscape.
Our Objectives
- Preserve and promote Nepalese culture, traditions, and language.
- Support new Nepalese immigrants in their settlement process.
- Foster connections within the Nepalese community.
- Build bridges with the broader Lethbridge community.
- Provide educational and professional development opportunities.
- Organize cultural events and celebrations.
