ects throughout the city this year, in-
cluding rehabilitation and upgrading
to utility infrastructure, pedestrian and
vehicle transportation infrastructure,
and parks. The City also announced
several development incentives in 2021,
including incentives for brownfield and
infill development.
The City’s building permits are sub-
stantially higher this year with over
$103 million in construction value per-
mitted so far, compared to less than
$42 million last year and $90 million
in 2019. Alteration permits (e.g., reno-
vations and garages) increased, almost
across the board, showing us that many
people have taken time during the pan-
demic to make improvements to their
homes and businesses.

tourists and campers. The City was
also able to extend our trail system to
connect Gas City Campground to Echo
Dale Regional Park, and to connect the
Kin Coulee, downtown and Lion’s Park
trail network.
The MSP also funded improvements
to our BMX bike track. This project will
raise the starting gate of the existing
track to regulation height and address
necessary track improvements allowing
Medicine Hat to host provincial and
national competitions. The local BMX
club will maintain the track.
The City used the ICIP funding for
water treatment plant upgrades, side-
walk development and rehabilitation,
replacement of hot water tanks, fire and
security alarms and rooftop units in
City facilities. The ICIP funding is also
being used to upgrade Athletic Park,
home to the Western Canadian Base-
ball League’s Medicine Hat Mavericks,
including the addition of a shade can-
opy, seating, fencing, and upgrades to
Athletic Park’s gate system, and ticket
office.
