Medicine Hat – On June 14, Medicine Hat City Council and city officials will formally celebrate projects funded by the Government of Canada’s Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) COVID-19 Resilience Stream and the Province of Alberta’s Municipal Stimulus Program (MSP).

The City of Medicine Hat will host a celebration event on June 14.

The celebration is open to the public and will take place at one of the newly finished projects – Towne Square.
