On June 26, a new water feature and upgraded pergola were unveiled to the public for the first time. The fountain consists of 97 water jets lit with LED lights that can create interactive shows choreographed to music. It can be programmed to hold different five-minutes shows every 20 to 30 minutes throughout the day. This alluring and interactive water feature has attracted hundreds of new visitors to the downtown and has brought new life back to our underutilized downtown park. Many young families have taken the opportunity to bring their children to the plaza to play in the dancing waters. This project has added a new dimension to the downtown experience and the Business Revitalization Zone is very appreciative of the commitment made by the Rotary Clubs of Lethbridge, City of Lethbridge, provincial government and sponsor businesses that helped to make the Rotary Centennial Plaza a reality. When we look back on 2008, the new water feature will undoubtedly be top-of-mind when it comes to initiatives that have had a significant impact on the downtown experience. The water feature operates during the summer months from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
