Flag of Medicine Hat

City of Medicine Hat Flag

On April 1, 1974, City Council approved Medicine Hat's current city flag.

It is a deep blue, with a white and blue circle in the middle containing "City of Medicine Hat, Alberta" around a depiction of an Indigenous Cree man. Permission was asked and received from the Medicine Hat News for use of their copyrighted 'Indian Head' on the City flag.

For more information on the City's flag, contact City Clerk.
