This year’s Parade of Homes features four “Parade of Excellence” show homes, built by Brost Developments Inc., Barton Home Building, Wilde Homes and Belcore Homes Ltd.

The homes are located at 57 Hamptons Bay, 40 Heron Court S.W., 2645 Eagle Ridge Drive and 5-5519 South Boundary Road.

The 47th annual event brings together local builders, trades, suppliers, designers and other businesses involved in residential construction.

BILD Medicine Hat described the Parade of Homes as an opportunity for residents to see new designs, trends and construction while highlighting the quality of work being done in Medicine Hat.

The Parade of Homes also gives participating builders an opportunity to showcase their work and provide potential buyers with a closer look at their homes and construction.

The 2026 showcase is now open to the public until Oct. 4.

The organization also emphasized that the homes represent the work of a much larger local industry, with trades, suppliers, contractors, designers and other businesses contributing to each project.

City Planner and Development Services Director John Popoff attended the opening ceremony and spoke about the city’s relationship with the local building industry.

Popoff said the city works with builders and developers on approvals and other requirements as homes move through the development process.

He said the city wants to hear from builders about challenges they encounter and use that feedback to improve its processes.

Popoff encouraged builders to bring forward concerns and frustrations, saying “We want to hear from you,” during the opening ceremony.

He said the city wants builders and developers to be successful, while acknowledging the complexity involved in getting projects approved.

Popoff also highlighted the collaboration involved in residential construction, noting that projects require coordination between customers, general contractors, specialized trades and the city.

He said the Parade of Homes provides an opportunity to showcase the results of that work.

“It’s a celebration of our building community and of our development community,” Popoff said in an interview following the ceremony.

Popoff said BILD Medicine Hat contributes to the broader community and region, with local builders and developers working in Medicine Hat, Redcliff, Cypress County and other areas.

Popoff said he was encouraged to see the quality of homes being showcased in Medicine Hat and said the event demonstrates that high-quality homes can be built in smaller centres.
