Good to come back home

I was born and raised in Medicine Hat and had a wonderful childhood in this beautiful city. Went to Calgary for 20 years and then once I had my babies moved back home and never regretted it. Medicine Hat has everything we need with the beauty of the hills and the trees and the bridges and the river. Everyday I go outside for a walk and experience the gorgeousness of Medicine Hat. I love the trails that are carefully maintained by the city and we love kayaking the river. I love walking to work across the bridge. It's nice to see wildlife. We've seen porcupines, pilated woodpeckers, baby skunks, raccoons, blue jays, pelicans, great blue herons and bald eagles. So much to see and do! People are mostly friendly everywhere we go. We have a fantastic Medicine Hat Public Library with a view of the river. You can get from one side of town to the other in 15 minutes. We're close to beautiful natural areas like Police Point and Echodale, Writing on Stone and Elkwater. The events and music festivals that we have in Medicine Hat are superb. I love Medicine Hat and know it's a wonderful place to live and raise children. It's so great that the hot air balloon festival is coming back for the third year in a row. What a nice magical thing for Medicine Hat.
