Transition Medicine Hat promotes sustainable living in southeastern Alberta, Canada, through community, demonstration and instruction. We encourage a gradual shift to a local economy that is less dependent on fossil fuels. Our community will become more sustainable, and at the same time, more resilient to changes.

In keeping with the Transition approach, we feel that supporting current positive actions will bring faster change than complaining about negative actions. With this in mind, we have two main areas of interest: renewable energy and regenerative agriculture.

With abundant sunshine and wind, southern Alberta is quickly developing into a major source of renewable energy. Our group encourages new projects to use best practices.

Our website features a new section: View of Canada to support more local tourism and to improve Canadians’ knowledge of our own country. A description and about ten photos of each of Canada’s 39 natural regions provide a relatively concise image of our beautiful country.
