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.

    1974-2024 Medicine Hat

    by Bev Carson, 1 day ago

    Best place to

    Live in Alberta!
    I arrived in Medicine Hat on December 4, 1974 from England. I love Medicine Hat immediately and always feel like I am coming home whenever I leave on Vacation. I feel safe and happy here and always have. I love all the community events and attend everything I can. When others move away, they always come back. This is my home and always will be. I am so happy here.

    A place to grow roots

    by Elly, 2 days ago
    I have spent my life moving every few years, unable to find somewhere where I really felt at home. Until I moved to Medicine Hat in 2021. I am so grateful that life's adventures brought me here! I love the historic downtown, the enchanting coulees, and the unique artistic vibe the Hat has. One of my favourite things to do is walk along the river and go to the public library. I really believe there is something for everyone here!

    Medicine Hat Makes Me Happy!

    by Shelley Acheson, 3 days ago

    According to Dan Buettner from “Blue Zones”, there is a correlation between being Happy and Living Longer, it therefore stands to reason that most people want to live where they can be the happiest. There is a growing trend (especially since the pandemic) of people moving to where they can live happily.

    Some contributing factors to a place being “Happy” are:

    Trust – Trustworthy police, politicians, and neighbors

    Walkability – Multi use trails to facilitate physical activity and socializing.

    Access to Nature – A proximity to parks, open spaces, and trees.

    Clean Environment – Clean water, air, and land.

    Why I stayed

    by LST, 3 days ago
    I moved to a near by small town as a young child from the big city of Calgary. My parents wanted better for us. We stayed in the small town until I was a teenager snd needed more, and Medicine Hat became more then just a trip to town for groceries. I started living on my own young. Working a couple jobs, not driving, this safe smaller city gave me the ability to walk everywhere without feeling scared. I met my husband here, and so even though my entire family lives elsewhere I stayed. We started businesses, made carreers, had... Continue reading

    Broken Road

    by KG1102, 4 days ago
    Medicine Hat is my home. I was born and raised here and lived here for 27 years. At some point in my life I decided that I needed to explore a bit, travel. Everyone always thinks that the grass is greener on the other side. That statement is very true to how I was feeling at the time. I knew how beautiful medicine hat was, I loved the sense of community, and all the things the city did for its people. Yet, I still felt I needed to explore and spread my wings. I moved to Airdrie/Calgary area for two... Continue reading

    A place to Heal

    by Mchoj, 6 days ago

    Being new to the city I was hesitant to raising my family in a new and unknown place. Living here has provided me a space where I felt safe to raise my family and facilitated my healing. I’ve experienced a lot of health difficulties in my life and moving into a new city I was fearful of what that would mean for my health journey. In the last city I lived in I felt like a number, the personal care I received in Medicine Hat reminded me that my health mattered. I felt humanized again, which allowed me to prioritize...

    Why I relocated to Medicine Hat

    by GullageA, 6 days ago
    After my 22 year relationship ended and my life changed because of a life threatening complication while on a trip to Mexico I decided it was time for a change. I always said I would never live in a city but I needed out of the small town of Taber. I was lucky to have friends here in Medicine Hat and met an amazing guy who has changed my life in such a positive way. I decided it was time to move here. The move has been the best thing for me. I have met so many new great people... Continue reading
