Proudly Supporting Downtown Medicine Hat
Downtown is where Medicine Hat began, with historic brick buildings, local shops and restaurants, and established neighbourhoods like Riverside and the Flats along the South Saskatchewan River. Our 2 Street SE team serves customers throughout the city and surrounding Cypress County.
Many downtown and Riverside homes are decades old, and some sit close to the river. In 2013, close to 10,000 Medicine Hat residents were evacuated during flooding. We'll make sure your home is insured for its full rebuild cost and explain your overland flood and sewer backup options.
In support of our Western Communities Foundation charity, our 2 Street SE team has donated over $24,000 to Medicine Hat initiatives such as HALO Air Ambulance, Red Cross Alberta Flood Relief and AJ’s Loan Cupboard etc.
Between appointments, enjoy what's close by downtown: the river valley trails, Police Point Park, the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre and the Saamis Tipi, the world's tallest tipi.

What do I need to know about car insurance in Medicine Hat, Alberta?
In Alberta, basic automobile insurance, which includes accident benefits and third-party liability, is required by law.
It’s mandatory to have a minimum of $200,000 in insurance and accident benefits coverage. Any coverage beyond this considered to be optional car insurance coverage. Decide if you want more than the minimum coverage and factor it into your budget.
Additional insurance coverage, such as collision and comprehensive, is not required by law.
All cars and trucks must have valid insurance and a vehicle registration certificate. As a first-time car owner, this is your responsibility.
What do I need to know about home insurance in Medicine Hat, Alberta?
Home insurance is not mandatory in Alberta, but if you have a mortgage your lender will likely require you to have an insurance policy.
Alberta can have severe weather at times like tornadoes, wildfires, and hailstorms. Home insurance typically helps protect when these severe weather events happen.
Without home insurance, you’ll be responsible for paying out of pocket for damages to your home and detached structures like your shed or garage.
Home insurance also covers your personal belongings and helps protect you should someone get injured at your home.
