First State of the Region address to take place on Thursday in Medicine Hat

The Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce will bring municipal leaders together on Thursday for its first State of the Region address, a new event aimed at giving the business community a consolidated look at local priorities across the Medicine Hat–Cypress corridor.

The gathering runs from 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at Beveridge Landmark Events in downtown Medicine Hat.

The program will feature Mayor Linnsie Clark, Cypress County Mayor Dan Hamilton, and Redcliff Mayor Chris Czember, who are each expected to outline current municipal priorities following their most recent strategic planning cycles.

The town hall-style event expands on the Chamber’s previous State of the City format by widening the focus to include multiple municipalities, reflecting what organizers describe as the increasing regional nature of economic and infrastructure planning in Southeast Alberta.
