Medicine Hat is home to plenty of energy resources, farms, coal mines, flour mills and pottery and glass plants. And as it has grown, so has its agricultural capabilities regarding livestock and crops. Medicine Hat is known for its great quality of life, affordable living costs and its lively downtown core.
But downtown Medicine Hat is more than just a southern Alberta destination – it’s a smaller city core that’s booming with identity and culture thanks to the beautiful railway inspired brick buildings, unique coffee shops, one-of-a-kind breweries, and locally owned small businesses.
