Ignite Your Community Walks - Neighbourhood Associations Launch

Neighbourhood Associations of Medicine Hat and Area (NA) had around 100 people participate in their launch events. Eight walks occurred throughout the city.

The Ross Glen walk stopped by local artist, Robert Weismann’s home. His stained glass was on display along with a restored window from St. Thereasa’s Academy (which was located in Crescent Heights from 1915-1973). Robert and another walk attendee over their interest in historic buildings.

Participants who completed the survey all agreed that walking with neighbours helped them to know more about their community and people in it, meet new people, feel more connected, and would attend a similar walk in the future.

Neighbourhood Associations is planning an educational evening to learn more about how to start one or connect with others interested in community building. If you are living in Ross Glen, Riverside, or Kensington and want to join a Neighbourhood Association, email Shantel at shaott@medicinehat.ca to be connected to things starting in your area.
