Why we choose to retire to the city of Medicine Hat

All,

My wife and I had never been to Medicine Hat.

As we approached retirement, my wife and I looked at Vancouver Island - Nanaimo to retire at.

But soon realized we could not afford Nanaimo as it was way to expensive.

Good friends of ours who lived in Medicine Hat for many years, highly recommended we look at Medicine Hat for retirement.

Our friends called Medicine Hat a "Hidden Gem"!

After visiting Medicine Hat twice, my wife and I decided that this city was a perfect size with a population of 63,000.In Calgary, our FIVE surrounding NW communities had a population of 75,000.

During our two visits we noticed the following:

• We liked the smaller city. Compared Calgary's population of 1.4 Million.
• How friendly and welcoming the HATTERS were and are.
• So much less traffic and no rush hour traffic to speak of as compared to Calgary.
• Quieter place where you can hear the birds sing.

Our retirement move to Medicine Hat:

On June 1st, 2023, we took possession of our semi-attached bungalow in a 50+ community off Carry Drive SE

.

June 1st, 2024, it will already make ONE YEAR since we retired in Medicine Hat. We don not miss Calgary.

In closing, our friends were so right: saying Medicine Hat is a "Hidden Gem “

This is a smaller city has ALL the amenities.

There is so MUCH History here and the surrounding area!

July 2024, my sister and my 2 nieces are coming to visit us the first week of July. They too have never been to Medicine Hat. We have must see outings to show them.

My wife and I believe we have literally: Pulled a RABBIT out of THE HAT, by having retired here!
