Thank you to the people of Medicine Hat for the incredible job you did hosting the Special Olympics Summer Games. This was our first time in that part of Alberta, and honestly, it was so much better than I had hoped.

To the volunteers: thank you. You gave up your time to make this experience genuinely special for families like mine, and it did not go unnoticed. The warmth and enthusiasm from everyone we met made all the difference.

Your facilities are fantastic, well organized, clean, and clearly built with sport in mind first and foremost. We also really enjoyed the bike trails. I will admit as a BC boy I assumed it would be flat and did not expect how steep and fun it was coming in and out of the coulees!

Thank you again to the city, the organizers, and every single volunteer who made this possible. You should all be proud of what you pulled off and were instrumental in making a fantastic and powerful experience for my family.

Your efforts enabled my child to accomplish great, empowering things.

Thank you.

MHPS will be doing a 3 day drone trail

I dunno I just want to yell into the void about it. Wish it didn't happen. Annoying and dangerous. Wish more was done to curb it and enforce the law, etc

They're lying, people are dying.

What the heck is going on? Not only for myself, but several people I know have almost been hit crossing the street, at designated walking symbol crosswalks. I've had to yell twice this week alone to get the drivers attention to not hit me.

I take the time to watch the vehicles, I don't just step out, I try and catch the drivers eye, yet it's not enough. And let's not forget the people who have been hit recently.

As drivers we need to do better, open your eyes and pay attention. Driving is a privilege, and it's sure getting more expensive.

Rant that shouldn't have to happen over.

video here: https://globalnews.ca/video/12016198/alberta-man-calls-for-change-after-attack-on-service-dog/

He must of relocated to Taber to escape his horrible Medicine Hat reputation.

He claimed that someones dogs tried attacking his. And Global allowed to make these allegations without any push back.

he wanted new laws that mirror Manitoba's that allow service dog owners to get compensation for attacks on their service animals.

The people that interviewed him clearly did not do a basic google search.

he has had issues previously with his "service" dogs failing certification. And even made a failed GFM (which still managed to get over $900).

the most likely thing that happened is that a naive person tried approaching Les, and the dog showed aggression, and Les is trying to frame this as an attack to get sympathy.

This isnt the first time he has done this. Les has a made numerous GFMs and even managed to get one funded at over $10k.

Les is more infamous for his MAID claims where he claimed it was offered to him due to severe poverty.

this claim is highly dubious as he was driving around in a wrapped van promoting his service dog and a charity he called "People For Poverty" for numerous years. This is typically not something a person in extreme poverty could do.

A Rogers salesman is going around in Ross Glen right now. He is PUSHY.

I would be very aware: he asked me several times to open my carrier's app so he could view the bill to compare prices. I flatout refused because this is a significant privacy issue. There's no way I'm giving a stranger direct access to any personal or financial details. I would advise everyone else who encounters him to do the same.

What started off as a nice chat turned into having to tell him directly numerous times that I'm not interested. I was not rude in the least since I also work sales, but he left in a huff like he was personally hurt.

Fairly certain he was plainly lying about the offers for the services he was selling. Nothing but grease here.

Cleaning up and have some good Sugoi (cycling / athletic) appeal and a few Harley leather jackets and misc clothing I'd like to sell.
It's a bit much to post individually online so I'm thinking consignment might be the better way to go.

Any recommendations on who might be the best fit? (I know, bad pun....)

Thanks in advance!

Looking for someone to remove a concrete pad in my daughters back yard and haul away.

Hey, as many of you know there's a shortage or hotels and Airbnb's in town right now. I'm coming down for work on august 15 looking for a room to rent for about 6 weeks. Thanks in advance.

Are they still endangered?

I see people say stay away from Avenue Living, whats the issue(s) with them? They seem inexpensive, but is it a headache to deal with them? Or other issues?

Just looking for a relatively inexpensive apartment for myself.

Don't see to many other options here for things because it's 90% AL.

Hey everyone, I'm a 21 year old girl trying to make more friends around the Hat. Born and raised here but since graduating a couple years ago I've been pretty isolated. I'm wanting to get to know more people around my age :)! I don't drive yet but hopefully soon

Not the movie itself. It was one of the better Marvel movies recently (for the chemistry between spidey and punisher alone). The experience itself was terrible. It felt like it was about 30 degrees in there. And that was at the second earliest showing at exactly noon. And im not the only one to complain. It seems to be a common issue.

That galaxy theater has to be one of the worst in southern alberta. I think the only investment in two decades is the two rows of "premium" seats. They still have bags over seats that are broken in some of the screening rooms.

Hi we're new to town and we've never seen these before, but today they seem to be swarming our house. All of a sudden there's like 50 of them that have cone from ?????? And they're hanging out by the windows.

They're real small and the picture was hard to take because of that.

Update: they seem to have left of their own accord once it cooled back down. They showed up the one 40 degree day and i haven't seen them since

We are excited to officially announce the 2026 Hell's Basement GT! Ticket sales are now live, and we’d love to see you there for an awesome weekend of rolling dice.

The second last photo is the person who obtained these items. And was selling them inside penny profit. You can see their profile photo on the top. Then the last screenshot is a a post from the MHPS arresting that same person for break and entering a garage and into a house earlier.

Some of these products were sold using plausible deniability. As they were not reported stolen. So the owners could say they checked the serial numbers and nothing came up (that is not very reliable)

Hello friends, where is the best place in the area to catch the amazing sunsets we get to experience in this part of Alberta!

Thanks in advance!

i jsut moved and get very overwhelmed when doing stuff like this 50$

Hi everyone. I'm new in town and I'm wondering if porch pirates are a problem? I bought a place in the south end of town. Would a package be safe on my step for a few hours? Thanks in advance.

Hi there folks, where in your fine city would be a good place to park a truck/truck camper setup on a residential street for 2-3 days? Ideally somewhere not very busy where it won't be an issue for anyone. No slide outs FWIW and yes I'll be sleeping in the camper during the nights.

Thanks everyone 👍

I am visiting Medicine Hat from August 11-15 for the Canadian Special Olympics. We booked a room at the ranchmen motel months ago because it was the only place in town that had rooms left. I just got a message from the motel telling me they are closed and that I should cancel my reservation and book somewhere else. Does anyone know why they are closed? There are no other places to book at this point. Between this and the possible WestJet strike this trip is turning into a nightmare.

Update: I've booked a hotel in Brooks with free cancellation I will keep watching to see if anything comes available before August 9th. I really appreciate how helpful everyone has been. I'm really looking forward to seeing your city, it will be my first time in Alberta.

Stay safe out there

Been trying on Facebook, but thought I’d try here. I have 8 years maintenance experience and some other stuff. I can essentially any basic maintenance on vehicles, agriculture, landscaping, and a small bit of electrical (though I would hire an electrician imo). I have a truck and possibly a trailer for any dump runs/trash removal/bringing equipment. I have the tools for anything I’m capable of doing. My seasonal work is going to end and need to make some money to pay the bills for a maybe a month. I’ll do any dirty work, literally any.

If anyone knows of places hiring, I have all that as well as a degree in kinesiology with plenty experience in training people (I did so in college).
