Travel Info Is medicine hat alberta a small town.i was just wonding thinking about visiting there someday.it's nice there Travel Tips I was born and raised in Medicine Hat and am now living in the USA. It's a city of about 60,000, many of whom are retired farmers from the vicinity and farming communities in Saskatchewan near the Alberta/Saskatchewan border. Medicine Hat has always been a "wanna be" city---They want to be like Calgary, like Edmonton, like Toronto---like something they definitely are not. As a result, there's an odd mixture of prairie dog mentality intertwined with cosmopolitan glam. Additionally, a recent triple-murder in Medicine Hat has made national headlines. But if you'd like to know more about this crazy little place called "The Hat,' here's a link you may find useful--- http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20060504/... Others it is small, I would not visit there unless I was visiting a friend (but there is very beautiful country around Med Hat) http://www.watertoninfo.ab.ca/ http://www.city.medicine-hat.ab.ca/... http://www.medicinehat.worldweb.com/... Medicine Hat, named after a Blackfoot legend, is commonly identified by two if its most prominent characteristics. 鈥淭he Hat鈥? as it's known locally, boasts some of the largest natural gas reserves in the world. It also holds the proud distinction of being the 鈥渟unniest city in Canada鈥? with over 2,500 hours of sunshine every year. It is an interesting town situated on the Trans-Canada Highway and set in very arid, almost desert-like terrain. For those looking to explore the area's heritage, the Medicine Hat Museum and Art Gallery鈥攚hich has some noteworthy native and pioneer artifacts鈥攊s well worth visiting. Another popular attraction is the former World's Tallest Tepee, found at the Saamis Archaeological Site. The tepee was created for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics and was relocated to Medicine Hat in 1991 Modified 11 months ago small Not even close to small. It's a city of 56,000 people http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/medicine_ha... small city |
