Medicine Hat has the most hours of sunlight of any city in Canada and its winters are not so cold thanks to the southwest winds, better known as Chinooks.

Within an hour's drive, you can enjoy ski resorts and Banff National Park is 4 hours away.

The recreational and sports facilities that make up the district include swimming pools, ice skating, ice hockey, YMCAs (gyms), indoor and outdoor soccer fields, and 80 miles of bike trails and other mountain sports.
