Thank you to the many communities that make up the Riversong area!! Your enthusiasm, waves, cheers, salutes, and generosity was amazing! We lost a couple of trucks to an emergency and I may have accidentally picked up someone’s garbage off their doorstep haha (my apologies). I need to give a huge thank you to the crews of Cochrane Fire Fighters, Cochrane Activettes, Cochrane RCMP, and Cochrane Municipal Enforcement for giving their time and energy to making sure all residents have something to open and eat this holiday season. West Valley area we are coming for you on Monday! *Marni Photo credit: Marni F. #mycochrane
