Council hopeful says optimism key to positive growth
August 14, 2025 | Medicine Hat
Troy Wason hopes to bring to council both a deep respect for the history of the city and an optimistic vision for the future.
While Wason is relatively new to the city, living here for five years, he has already set down deep roots, getting involved with Cypress Club Preservation Society, the City of Medicine Hat’s Historical Resources Working Group and Historical Society of Medicine Hat & District, as well as volunteering with the 2026 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games as co-chair.
“I keep being that person who says that this is a great place to live. It’s affordable, it’s got great weather. It’s got, I mean, I’m selling my friends on, you know, longer golf seasons,” said Wason. “These are the things that have been here, that you won’t find in other places.”
