The City of Medicine Hat is holding its first “municipal mingle” since the spring.

It will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sept. 12 outside at Towne Square downtown.

The open house event is designed to create a “collaborative environment” between the city’s staff members and the community.

The open house format allows for informal interactions where Hatters can engage city employees on the topics that interest them the most.

“Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend and connect, engage, and share their feedback on a range of local initiatives,” officials said in a news release.
