MEDICINE HAT, AB — The city of Medicine Hat will be hosting a virtual town hall in an effort to help residents better understand their utility bill.

Residents will be able to ask questions about their utility bills in the noon-hour virtual session next on March 16.

Dennis Egert, the managing director of Corporate Services, says the city will have a panel of experts on hand to answer questions which can be submitted in advance online at Shape Your City.

“In there, the utility bill town hall is defined as an event and there’s an opportunity to submit a question, and also there’s a link in there to attend the live session at noon,” says Egert.
