Medicine Hat – The City of Medicine Hat will formally observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Monday, September 30.
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, introduced in 2021, was established in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action. Its purpose is to honour the survivors of residential schools, along with their families and communities, and to ensure the tragic history of these institutions is never forgotten.
“On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the City of Medicine Hat renews its commitment to walking our shared path towards reconciliation alongside our Indigenous community,” said Mayor Linnsie Clark. “We encourage residents to seek out opportunities to engage, connect, and learn about our shared Indigenous history – not just on this day, but year-round.”
Where possible, flags at all City of Medicine Hat facilities will be lowered to half-mast from sunrise to sunset, and the Saamis Tepee will be lit orange to bring awareness to this important day.
As Medicine Hat continues on its path to Reconciliation, the City reaffirms its commitment to learning from the past, taking meaningful action in the present, and building a future where all voices are heard and valued.
The public is advised of the following impacts to City of Medicine Hat services on September 30:

  • City Hall will be closed to the public
  • Big Marble Go Centre will be open from 12 to 5 p.m.
  • Co-op Place and Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre will be closed to the public
  • Medicine Hat Transit service will not be available
  • The Waste Management Facility (landfill) will be closed to the public
  • There will be no residential waste collection; service will resume on Tuesday, October 1 in Zone 1
