Celebrating You
At Medicine Hat College, our most valuable asset is our people. Each employee contributes to the success of the college and, ultimately, to the success of our students.
Recognition of those contributions is important and can take many forms. Whether it's a simple thank you from a supervisor for a job well done, or formal notification from the President's Office of an exceptional accomplishment, MHC strives to ensure the efforts of its people are recognized appropriately.
2026 Employee Recognition Celebration
The Employee Recognition Celebration is another way we applaud the contributions of our colleagues and share in their success. This annual event celebrates retirees and continuous service in five-year increments. Individuals who will be formally recognized at the event will receive an electronic invitation from Human Resources, but all college employees are welcome to attend.
All continuous long service employees and retirees were recognized at our Employee Recognition Celebration on April 15, 2026.
Thank you to the following individuals and teams, as well as all nominees, for bringing your best to MHC.
For more information about employee recognition at MHC, please contact Human Resources or view the policy.
