“This part of the country seems to have all hell for a basement, and the only trap door appears


to be in Medicine Hat.” Rudyard Kipling, 1907


IN THE BEGINNING …


In 1883, the Canadian Pacific Railway stopped to build a bridge across the South Saskatchewan River and a tent town was born.


With the arrival of the railroad came the


North-West Mounted Police. They maintained law and order in the area and made Medicine Hat a law abiding town.


In the CPR’s search for water, their drills


accidentally struck gas in the town, heralding the exploration that mapped out one of the largest gas fields in North America.


In the latter part of 1903, City Council embarked on


a program to supply all residents with gas, which became the beginning of the city-owned utility.


In 1906, Medicine Hat was incorporated as a city.


The mission of the association is to assist in the integration, adjustment


and resettlement of immigrants and refugees in the community of Medicine Hat, providing a support system that fosters Individual needs in an environment of equality and dignity.
