Their Story
Medicine Hat, Alberta is Canada’s sunniest city renowned for its richness in natural resources and its devotion to fostering active, environmentally-conscious lifestyles for its 63,000 residents. The ‘Gas City’ boasts 57 locations of indoor and outdoor recreation spaces with over 100km of walking trails.
Their Goal
Unify the city’s parks and recreation programming with facility management for staff and customers.
With the expansion of a family leisure centre and ongoing fitness and recreation programming, the City of Medicine Hat sought to transition from disconnected applications to a single system that would more efficiently and effectively help them serve their customers.
We knew that one day there would be this perfect program… that would meld everything together, and we found it with Xplor Recreation.
