My heart is full Cochrane!

The 2019 Canada Day dunk tank was a success because of all of you and certainly not because of the weather! 😉 – What was that, any way?

To my volunteers Kelli, Eryn & Emily – from the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking this on!

To those who sat in the dunk tank – Cherry Lee, Paul Brundritt, Steven Scott, Councillor Marni Fedeyko, Patrick Wilson, Pete Farmer, Dirk DeLaney & Matt Corbitt – you are fine members of this community and thank you for offering not only your time, but your good spirit too!

Way to go Cochrane!

Using our forces for good can move mountains! The Girl Guide community is so lucky to have you.

Good morning Cochrane! Things may begin to look a little different in town tomorrow due to some new Covid-19 restrictions, so I'd like to take a moment to encourage everyone to check in with your local businesses on Facebook/Instagram before heading out. Most businesses have posted which new rules will apply to them & a few may still be deciding. It is important to remember that this has been a long road to recovery for our local businesses and that no matter their choice, please follow their posted rules OR BE KIND. Also, to the owner of this fabulous truck I spied in the Quarry yesterday... AWESOME! *Sam #community #cochranetogether #mycochrane
