The Medicine Hat News reported: "Catherine Proulx, managing director of Twist Marketing, says the new brand is meant to be something all tourism operators can use to promote the region and is not an attempt to do away with Medicine Hat's traditional slogan. 'The Medicine Hat brand for the city will remain as it is — it's still 'Medicine Hat, the Gas City,' 'Proulx says. 'This is going to be a tourism-related brand.'"

I'm all about promoting Medicine Hat, especially since that was a motivating factor in starting this blog. But I don't know that a new slogan is going to draw more tourists. Medicine Hat is a fantastic place to live and raise a family, but I don't think that it is much of a tourist destination, unless you have family that live here or are driving through on your way to somewhere with bigger attractions. I'm not trying to say that there aren't wonderful things to see and do here, but it doesn't have the Calgary Stampede and West Edmonton Mall style attractions. What's truly sad is that there are so many amazing things in Medicine Hat that local residents don't even know about or utilize.
