| Description |
Cypress-Medicine Hat is a sizable riding in the southeast corner of the province, bordering Saskatchewan and Montana and surrounding the urban riding of Medicine Hat. Cypress-Medicine Hat was essentially unchanged by the 2004 redistribution. Communities here include Redcliff, Bow Island and Irvine. The city of Medicine Hat, south of the South Saskatchewan River, the Trans-Canada Highway and Carry Drive, are also in this riding.
Agricultural is the major industry here, with retail a distant second. Incomes, at $59,912 for the average household, are slightly below the Alberta norm, although the percentage of low-income residents, at nine per cent, is also below average. This riding has a large number of people who identify themselves as German, at 20 per cent. Immigrants make up about seven per cent of the population, and aboriginals are fewer than two per cent of residents.
