Different In The BEST Ways
The first thing we noticed were the smiles. Smiles galore, everywhere we looked. And surprisingly people were smiling our way! Then were the happy greetings from people on the many waking paths, from the friendly faces at the local markets or in the historic downtown, and in every business we entered into.
It is easy to see how happy the residents of Medicine Hat are to be here.
Every school our four children have attended here felt more like an extended family than faceless organizations. I felt great sending my daughters off to school each day knowing the staff at the schools were supporting their efforts as students, and ours as their parents.
What has impressed me most has been bearing witness of a community coming together quickly and collectively when hard times have happened. Neighbors standing shoulder to shoulder throwing down sand bags to hold back flood waters, or faith groups working side by side to clean up a farmers field after a tornado blew through, to the entire city offering up food donations in huge food drives when our Root Cellar community kitchen needed support.
I have learned, living here for over ten years now, that there is a different energy in Medicine Hat and it’s an energy full of heart, hope, and happiness. It’s an energy I want my children and grandchildren to experience in their lives. The energy of a place matters as it is a reflection of the lives being lived there. And the energy in Sun City is bright!
Thank you for your contribution!
