If the words, “Round, round, get around, I get around,” start your sandaled bare feet (please, no socks) movin’ to a mental Beach Boys tune, then you’re a perfect fit for some Rotary club somewhere …or everywhere in the world. The simple reason is that Rotary was and forever is the first international service club. ... Read More »

While the weather is still nice out, I thought we could get outside and make some observations to learn about tracking; it really is an ancient and lost science. I will be honest though, you never know when it will come in handy when on a hike or just out for a stroll. Learn to ... Read More »

As I write this, it’s Monday morning. Last night’s rainfall seems to have scrubbed the air of dust and grime, rendering the detail of everything just a little clearer. Yesterday’s gospel, featuring the parable of the Good Samaritan, likewise clarifies something I’ve been thinking about for awhile, casting into sharp relief the difference between being ...

I have a funny story to tell you this week. Well, it wasn’t funny when it happened, but it didn’t take long for me to see the humour in it. I have always thought about my body as being merely transportation for my brain. Sports and physical activities have never been at the top of ... Read More »

Every season, Medicine Hat yards play host to a wide variety of insects. This semi-arid climate has crawlers, tunnellers and wood borers. There are winged varieties and non-winged, long legged and no legged. Early risers and nighttime bustlers all make their home here, and to survive our extreme climate requires serious grit.

I have a strong belief in personal responsibility. From an early age, I was taught that my own daily decisions will determine my future. You will know, for example, where I heard that sugar is the “white devil”. It’s a conviction helps me avoid it. For another, if I don’t use my muscles as I ... Read More »

Summer is here and water safety should be top of mind. Drowning is still one of the most preventable threats to children’s safety. Drowning is the third-leading cause of injury-related death for Canadian children under 14 years of age, and it happens quickly and silently. Water can be a source of fun, relaxation and adventure-but ... Read More »

Captivating international attention, the most successful publicity stunt ever showcased in Medicine Hat materialized in 1951 thanks to the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede. Faced with increased rodeo costs, the Stampede Board needed a promotional gimmick to encourage larger crowds. Destined to be an attention grabber, “Miss Flagpole Sitter of 1951” was the Board’s solution. ... Read More »

If you think running a transit system is just about driving buses from Point A to Point B, buckle up-because there’s a whole lot more going on under the hood. Medicine Hat Transit’s goal is to be a finely-tuned machine, powered by people, passion and a whole lot of planning. From morning commutes to late-evening ... Read More »

When I first ran to represent Cypress-Medicine Hat, I made a commitment to be your voice in Edmonton and to fight for the investments our communities deserve. Today, I’m proud to share the tangible results of that advocacy-over $250 million in funding flowing directly to our region since 2023. Behind every dollar secured lies countless ... Read More »
