About Us
Lethbridge Inland Terminal Ltd. is a Southern Alberta producer-owned and controlled grain handling company southeast of Lethbridge with a shareholder base of approximately 200 southern Alberta farmers including Hutterite Colonies and First Nations as well as large corporate and small and medium family farms. These investors represent close to 1.5 million acres of irrigated and dry land production.
LIT is located on the main rail line heading to the United States, Canada's largest trading partner. There is also easy access to the ports of Vancouver and Thunder Bay. The capital investment for the terminal was more then $23 million and it supplies the grain producers in Southern Alberta with a new choice in a time of rapid consolidation of the grain industry. The project helps keep the related agricultural profits in Alberta.
LIT is the first newly built, wholly farmer-owned grain facility in Alberta. It has a capacity of close to 1.5 million bushels , or 42,000 metric tonnes, making it the largest facility in the trading area and the second largest in Alberta.
The facility is designed to be the most efficient, farmer friendly grain handling facility in Southern Alberta able to assemble a unit train off the main line with multiple entry and exit points.
Located on 220 acres of land, the facility takes up only nine acres, leaving 211 for a major agricultural industrial park with the Lethbridge Inland Terminal as the anchor.
It is the intention of the LIT board to carefully seek opportunities that will drive new revenues and provide new services to the agricultural community of Southern Alberta. Currently, they are exploring the potential ag-related opportunities that would both complement and enhance LIT's portfolio
