Local and live
Where the Trans-Canada meets the Crowsnest Highway
Medicine Hat sits on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) at the eastern end of the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3), about 295 kilometres southeast of Calgary and 169 kilometres east of Lethbridge. CPKC's main line runs through the city, which has marshalling yards of its own, and Highway 41, the Buffalo Trail, splits from the Trans-Canada at Dunmore, about 10 kilometres east, and runs south to the Wild Horse border crossing. In the northwest, the City owns about 715 acres zoned for general and heavy industry near the CPKC line, reached from Boundary Road NW and Box Springs Road NW, and plans it for processing, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. Box Springs Business Park, beside the Trans-Canada on the same side of the city, has about 100 acres of industrial land for sale or lease.
Fenced compounds in the city get tested. In June 2025, someone cut through the security fence of a storage compound near 10th Avenue SW and forced open several recreational vehicles parked inside. In March 2026, a break-in at a secured business compound on the 1000 block of South Railway Street SE left the gate damaged and one of the business's vehicles gone. Demand on police is climbing as well: the Medicine Hat Police Service responded to 35,541 calls for service in 2025, up from 33,006 in 2024. For a yard owner, a cut fence or a forced gate can mean stolen vehicles, trailers and tools before anyone notices the next morning.
Live monitoring changes when you find out. Sigma's agents watch every camera 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone inside the fence after hours. The agent verifies it on live video, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police and your contacts, then sends video clips and a written report. Industrial and trucking yards can add Yard Operations for damage inspections, parking reports and visual seal checks on video.
On the record: At about 3:30 a.m. on June 2, 2025, Medicine Hat Police Service patrol officers found a cut security fence at a storage compound in the 10th Avenue SW area, where several recreational vehicles had been forcefully entered. A 46-year-old man was later charged with 11 counts of break, enter and theft. Source: Medicine Hat Police Service, B&E and Theft (June 11, 2025), via PIO Wire, 2025

FAQ
Medicine Hat monitoring questions
Can you monitor a yard in Medicine Hat's northwest industrial area or near Box Springs?
Yes. Any site with power and an internet connection can be watched live, around the clock, including holidays. AI flags anyone who gets through the fence, and an agent confirms it on video, responds with a live, instant talk-down and calls police when needed.
Can you give us a morning report on what's parked in our yard?
Yes, with Yard Operations. Agents use your cameras to prepare parking and yard reports, inspect trucks and trailers for damage and do visual seal checks on video, so you know what was on the lot and what shape it was in.
Sigma is based in Ontario. How would a Medicine Hat site get set up?
Agents monitor the site remotely, so distance doesn't matter. Sigma's technicians come to Medicine Hat to install the cameras and speakers, or we connect many compatible cameras the site already has. The site provides its own power, internet connection and gate.
