Amplify Medicine Hat – British Banger Company

Jan 3, 2022 | 2:05 AM

Local business is the cornerstone of Medicine Hat, that’s why we’re asking you to Amplify Medicine Hat by nominating local businesses we can highlight and support.

For 50 years British Army Training Unit Suffield has been operating out of Canadian Force Base Suffield, about 45 kilometres west of Medicine Hat on Highway 1.

Some Brits are only in the region temporarily and some stay or return after their military service is over.

Enter the British Banger Company.

Tim and Tracey Worsley opened their first store in Okotoks and made frequent trips to Medicine Hat with a trailer full of goods. Earlier this year, they opened a store in Medicine Hat at 712 Fourth Street SE.

Having a little bit of the UK in southeastern Alberta has helped many expats.

“From childhood sweets and chocolate, to my favorite meats. Especially at Christmas with so many Christmasy treats like chocolates for the tree and gift ideas1,” reads one nomination.

Another says the shop helps the area’s international community, “who are always made to feel at home by Hatters, now be able to taste a little of home and share this back with Hatters themselves. So thank you British Banger Co. Oh and for those who don’t know, ‘Banger’ is what you might call a sausage in the UK!”
