About the Medicine Hat area
The area
This page covers Statistics Canada's census division No. 1, the southeast corner of Alberta along the Saskatchewan border, cut by the South Saskatchewan River. It had about 82,500 people in 2021, about 63,300 of them in the City of Medicine Hat. Rural land falls in two municipalities: Cypress County (about 7,500), which surrounds Medicine Hat and Redcliff and holds hamlets such as Dunmore, Irvine, Seven Persons, Suffield, Schuler, Hilda and Walsh, and the County of Forty Mile No. 8 (about 3,500). Redcliff (about 5,600), Bow Island (about 2,000) and the village of Foremost (about 630) are the other centres. The Cypress Hills rise about 600 m above the prairie on the Saskatchewan border, about 65 km south of Medicine Hat by Highway 41, inside Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.
History
The City of Medicine Hat recognizes the area as Treaty 7 territory, beside Treaty 4, and as traditional land of the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani of the Blackfoot, the Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuut'ina, as well as Cree, Sioux and Saulteaux peoples and the Métis. The city's name translates the Blackfoot word Saamis. The Canadian Pacific Railway arrived in 1883, the year its crews drilling for water struck natural gas nearby. Ranching came first; cheap local gas later drew brick, clay and glass plants and greenhouses, and the city kept its gas as a public utility.
Services and access
Medicine Hat Regional Hospital, run by Alberta Health Services, has a 24-hour emergency department for trauma, heart and general cases; Bow Island Health Centre also provides emergency care. The Trans-Canada Highway runs west past the army base at CFB Suffield, about 45 km from Medicine Hat, toward Brooks and Calgary, about 2.5 hours by car from Suffield.
Land and climate
Outside the hamlets, owners supply their own water from wells, rural water co-ops or hauled water stored in cisterns; Cypress County runs truck fill stations at Hilda, Seven Persons, Dunmore and Irvine. Rural owners also arrange their own power and natural gas with the provider for their area. Early settlers found this dry country hard to farm.
Before you buy
Cypress County and the County of Forty Mile each zone land through a land use bylaw and require development permits for most construction, with exemptions for small farm buildings. Neither county issues building permits: those come from safety codes agencies accredited by the province. A provincial flood study, finalized in 2024, maps hazards along 45 km of the South Saskatchewan River and along Ross, Seven Persons and Bullshead creeks through Medicine Hat, Redcliff and Cypress County. Buyers who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents may hold at most two parcels totalling 20 acres of controlled land, which covers most land outside cities, towns and villages.
