Medicine Hat Economic Development launches new data platform

Medicine Hat Economic Development (MHED) has launched a new business and community data portal designed to provide the local business community, residents and potential investors with relevant, up-to-date and accurate data.

The new platform significantly expands the City’s previous community data repository, giving users access to a broader range of economic, transportation, neighbourhood, and workforce information.

The portal compiles data from sources including the Government of Alberta and Statistics Canada, making it easier for users to explore key indicators such as population trends, labour market conditions and business activity in Medicine Hat and the surrounding region.

Notable features include interactive maps and data visualizations, along with the ability to export customized reports and datasets.

“This platform gives investors, business owners and residents an easier, clearer way to understand who we are – our people, our workforce and our businesses – so we can make confident, well-informed decisions about the future,” said Selena McLean-Moore, director of Economic Development with the City of Medicine Hat.

The portal is powered by CityViz, a data platform used by municipalities across Canada to make economic and community data more accessible and easier to interpret.

By centralizing reliable data in a single location, the platform supports informed decision-making for local businesses, site selectors, developers, and community partners.

The data portal is now available through the Medicine Hat Economic Development website.
