In one word, Medicine Hat is “sunshine.”
We are a warm, vibrant, feel-good city, with the
attitude and natural backdrop to match. We
honour our city’s heritage while fostering progress,
innovation and entrepreneurship. We are a dynamic
bright spot, with an emerging and growing creative
culture. And our quality of life truly does shine.
Medicine Hat residents are friendly, welcoming
and kind. Many of us have come from across the
country and around the world to make this city our
home – and we embrace others who want to do
the same. We welcome visitors, host events and
showcase our city with pride. We open our wallets
and our hearts to those in need. We are resilient in
our neighbourhoods and across our community.
Our scenic landscape is anchored by the broad and
mighty South Saskatchewan River, carved coulees
and rolling prairies. Wildlife thrives along the river’s
edge and in park spaces, as well as schoolyards
and backyards. The sun rises and sets in glorious
displays of colour and stars light up the night sky.
Our city is a beautiful, natural sight to see.
Our community is safe, comfortable, affordable
and where family and friends gather to celebrate
their lives. Opportunity abounds, in business and
in pleasure, without the commutes, crowds and
big-city hassles. We experience life up close and
personal. Medicine Hat is a soft landing and a
springboard, a retreat and a hive of activity – and
always a place to savour life.
And, of course, Medicine Hat boasts more days
of sunshine per year (330!) than any other city in
Canada. We have hot summer nights and chinook cheered
winter days. Our city is warm at heart and
in life.
Medicine Hat has a Sunshine State of Mind.
