Hundreds attended the first presentation about the Community Action Lab in Medicine Hat in February of 2023. If you missed it, or want to review what was said, here's a recording of the opening speech, delivered by Strong Towns founder Charles Marohn. With special emphasis on the community of Medicine Hat, this kickoff event redefines what 'success' looks like: it's not growth for the sake of growth—it's resident-led action that builds financially resilient towns and cities over time.
