The public is invited to attend a second Riverside Neighbourhood Plan Open House. With the help of the community, an Area Redevelopment Plan is being created to guide future development in Riverside. An Area Redevelopment Plan contains a future vision for a specific community and a set of objectives upon which policies are developed. The plan is a blueprint for the far-reaching future of a neighbourhood. Developed with ongoing community involvement, this Plan will ensure that Riverside stays a great place to live, work and enjoy leisure time. This work is particularly important given the changes occurring in the Riverside area.
The public open house will take place Thursday, July 13 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Bridge Church, 350 1st Avenue NE. A survey will be launched at the open house as part of the consultation process. Individuals unable to attend will be able to participate online beginning Friday, July 14. The survey will be available here.

In our 150th year of confederation, I could not help but explore the history of our Chamber of Commerce and our business network. Interestingly, the first chamber of commerce was established in 1599 in France, with the first North American chamber established in 1750 in Halifax. While our chamber hasn't been around for quite that long, we do have a remarkable history. Dating back to our establishment in May 1900, there have been significant contributions within our community, our province and our country, by our organization and the businesses that fought to move our community forward and who invested to make Medicine Hat what it is today.
Our community was born from an opportunity, rooted within business. Shortly after 1883, when the Canadian Pacific Railway reached Medicine Hat, an early tent town of railway workers, engineers and management was established. The railway station formed the spine from which the early commercial core radiated outwards. In 1898, Medicine Hat incorporated as a town and as a city in May 1906, emerging out of the District of Alberta, which was part of the North-West Territories at that time, until the province formed in 1905.
