It will be presented virtually over Zoom, and there will be no admission charge for the event that typically takes place in the ballroom of the Medicine Hat Lodge.

This year, attendees who view the proceedings online are encouraged to order in lunch from a restaurant of their choice.

The event has featured some big announcements in the past.

Mayor Garth Vallely publicly announced an effort to replace the aging Medicine Hat Arena at the 2005 event.

The State of the City address is jointly organized and promoted by the Kiwanis Club of Medicine Hat and the local Chamber of Commerce. This year’s supporters include the Esplanade Theatre, which provides technical support for city broadcasts, and Shaw-TV, which has aired the event in the past.

Registration is available via the Chamber’s website.
