At MNP, fun isn’t just a break from the work—it’s one of our core values, and the MNP Lethbridge Softball Team brings it to life season after season. Here’s to great plays, memorable times, and plenty of laughs along the way. "Each year, when I look back at photos from our 2010-2015 slow-pitch teams, I'm struck by something significant: Of the 12 people who played on those teams, 9 are now Partners at MNP. While they're not all in Lethbridge anymore—some are in Fort McMurray, Winnipeg, Cambridge, and Kelowna—it clearly shows that the MNPers who put themselves out there, participate in team events, and engage with the community are the kinds of individuals who thrive at MNP.” —David (he), Partner Find your hashtag#LifeAtMNP by visiting https://shr.link/qylkm

This, in turn, allows them to better serve their citizens . Find out why governance is becoming a top priority in the AI era in our new 2025 MNP Municipal Report.
