Medicine Hat. Alberta. There's a spirit here that's hard to explain. Unmistakable when experienced. At the heart of our community lies a different kind of energy, a pulse that sets us apart and makes us PROUD to be Hatters. Ours is a community that is built differently. Our resolve is carved from the banks of the South Saskatchewan River and brick by brick, we've crafted a place where ingenuity grows, good ideas thrive, and people prosper. A place where tradition meets innovation. Where the spirit of the prairies collides with the drive for future progress. Where the days run longer, the sun shines brighter, and the air feels warmer.
We're not just another city; we're Medicine Hat. Ours is a different kind of energy.

We just moved here in October. Best place I’ve lived. The pace of life is just wonderful with so much to do (for free!) with young kids. We love the art scene and have been to multiple festivals, art markets and I’ve even gotten to take a pottery class. We have so much peace living here, it’s quiet, always lot of parking, feels so safe. Couldn’t love Medicine Hat more!

I moved here with my husband last year after a searching far and wide for our first home; more specifically, our first forever home.
As soon as we first saw the beginnings of a city over the horizon, I think we knew this was going to be special. For those born and raised here, I wonder if you can feel it too: there is a lightness here, a feeling that we felt as we drove through the calm streets and wondered hopefully if we could have the chance to stay.
It is fitting that the motto “Different kind of energy”... Continue reading

Medicine Hat is a great place to build a fulfilling life. I’ve gotten married here, bought a house, had two kids, and am raising them in this beautiful city.
A benefit of the lower living costs is that it allowed us our dream of buying a home.
One of our favorite warm weather activities is enjoying the walking and biking paths and eating picnic lunches in one of the many parks.
The warm, welcoming community makes Medicine Hat a place where you can truly belong.

I really struggle with mental health, but it's our community that has really helped me find reasons to keep moving forwards. Even after I experienced a life changing event, I found reasons to keep fighting with events like Spectrum, Rib Fest, River Run, Mental Health Walk, live music, Maverick Games, Tiger Games, Hot Air Balloon Festival, ect.. I look forward to what Medicine Hat hosts. I have never missed the Hot Air Balloon event, and it would be a dream come true to experience it first hand with a ride. Medicine Hat has so much to offer. I am proud... Continue reading

One of my top favorite things about Medicine Hat is our path systems! I love the sunshine + the local events! I love our local coffee gems, i love being able to go to a local building like the Esplanade or the library, and then go for a walk with my family. Recently i have been enjoying looking into more of the history of my hometown, there is so much history here!! Every year, i look forward to the many events we have, like the hot air balloon festival, + the Stampede. I am grateful to have called this place... Continue reading

As a small business owner and mother, I'm grateful to call Medicine Hat home. The community is incredibly supportive, and I feel safe raising my family here. With plenty of affordable and cost-effective activities to choose from, we can create memorable experiences without breaking the bank. From strolling by the teepee or exploring the numerous parks, to throwing rocks in the river or visiting a nearby lake, there's no shortage of options. Our stunning landscapes and sense of safety make it the perfect place for our family of four to thrive.

To be honest growing up here I didn’t appreciate the benefits and charms of this city of ours… But after living in bigger and smaller places over the years, then coming back to be closer to family I can appreciate the “goldilocks principle” that we benefit from here. It's like the city has gotten better as I have aged and my priorities have shifted towards a more balanced lifestyle. We have many benefits of a city without the pitfalls of a bigger centre. I often giggle to myself when I hear someone talk about the lines at Costco or “traffic”.... Continue reading

I am a new resident of Medicine Hat. I moved in April 2024 from Ontario and I am so happy with my decision. The city is a natural beauty with lots of parks, rivers and fun activities to do. The best part? short commute times and quick access to key services with little to no queues.
I love the city and how friendly the people are!

I have lived in Medicine Hat and surrounding area for 20 years. Here is where I met my husband and started our family. We met on our awesome team in Gas city slow pitch which I still play on today. We love Medicine Hat because we have a bigger size city perfect for that small town community feeling. Where else can you start golfing in April and sometimes don't end till November! We love the sunshine and all that it brings with it! We love that paths are near by for walking, jogging and whatever else you want to do... Continue reading
