Medicine Hat

== Symbolism==
The yellow background represents prairie ranchlands that surround the city and the wealthiness of the community. The wavy stripe represents the South Saskatchewan River, which runs through the city. Medicine Hat is known as “The Gas City”, for its large natural gas fields, which is what the gas lamp and the flames represent. The locomotive wheel represents the city’s connection to the original Trans-Canada line of the Canadian Pacific Railway; the cogwheel represents the manufacturing which burgeoned in “the Pittsburgh of the West”.
