that time, IASA has broadened its purpose to include the following:

regarding the cost of doing business in Southern Alberta
- to provide representation on common issues
before governments, regulatory boards, commissions and other
groups having jurisdiction over any matters affecting industry
in Southern Alberta
- to promote the exchange of information
- to promote the efficient distribution
of utilities to industries at reasonable prices
- to review any matters that may be beneficial
to industries
IASA currently represents 18 companies in Lethbridge and area. The local
industries come from various sectors, including manufacturing
and food processing.
