Welcome

The City of Medicine Hat, a thriving city of just over 61,000 residents (2009), is located in Alberta’s Southeastern corner, along the South Saskatchewan River valley, and at the intersection of  Canada’s #1 Highway and Highway 3 to the US border through Crowsnest Pass..  This semi-arid location has more hours of sunshine than any other community in the country and is set amid scenic coulees, rolling prairie and carved hillsides.  Medicine Hat residents embody diverse culture and heritage and enjoy a quality of life that is secure and inviting.  The community’s local, national and international success is based on its abundant natural resources: clay, natural gas and sunshine.  Medicine Hat is “a community of choice”.  It’s a great place to live, work and play! Whatever your reason for thinking about making Medicine Hat your new home, Welcome to Medicine Hat !
