This part of the country seems to have all hell for a basement, and the only trap door appears to be in Medicine Hat. And don’t you ever think of changing the name of your town. It's all your own and the only hat of its kind on earth.

A truly wonderful website for a government establishment, and especially as a municipal informational portal. People oriental and functional, City Gov is exactly what we need!

We began our journey by moving to Medicine Hat in the Summer of 2021 and quickly fell in love. We are fascinated with paranormal and will showcase local ghost stories. Having moved into (what is claimed to be) a haunted house makes it personal. We also love dogs (well all animals) and so have set up Medicine Hat’s first, and only, dog-friendly business directory in support of the Animal Food Bank.
