Cochrane House Concerts - Matinee - The Janzen Boys
2025-05-04 14:30 - 18:00 | Alberta
We are excited to welcome The Janzen Boys for this afternoon show!

Again tickets will be $25 and seats can be secured with an e-transfer of $25 to tickets@willowspringsss.com. We’re really hopeful that we can host this show outdoors, but as all things in May, this will be weather dependent!

The Janzen Boys have been playing music together since the very beginning, but it started as “The Janzen Boys” shortly after they moved back to Canada from Japan in 2012. They’re a rootsy, harmony-singing folk trio from Winnipeg, Manitoba, consisting of brothers Simon and Mick, and father JJ. Whether they’re playing at music festivals, theatres, venues, or intimate house concerts, they’ll have you laughing, crying, and singing along to classics that you know and love, and catchy original tunes that’ll be stuck in your head for days!

See their full bio at: https://www.thejanzenboys.com/about

Lisa’s Village: An Evening of Support
2025-06-14 18:30 - 22:00 | The Texas Gate, 304 1st Street, Cochrane, Alberta, Canada
Hello community of Cochrane,
We are reaching out on behalf of our dear friend, Lisa. If you’ve met Lisa, you know how kind and selfless she is—always helping others, always smiling through the pain. But behind that smile is someone who’s been silently suffering for years. But now, Lisa needs the community’s help.
Lisa has endured over 15 surgeries, a rare nerve disorder, and more than 10 traumatic concussions. Her brain is so sensitive now that even a small movement can cause another injury. These health battles have taken everything—her ability to work, her independence, and so much of her life.
Lisa and her husband Joey have exhausted all their resources—savings, insurance, and family support. Lisa now requires specialized treatments that are not covered by healthcare.
We’re holding a fundraiser on Saturday, June 14th, from 6:30 to 10 PM at The Texas Gate in Cochrane. Online and physical tickets are $20. There’ll be prizes, connection, and a chance to make a difference.
If you are able to join us, purchase a support ticket, donate a service or item for the raffle, or help spread the word, we would greatly appreciate it.
Lisa and Joey are forever grateful for your support and consideration.
Kind regards,
Team Lisa

We’re proud to bring this film to Cochrane as a fundraiser supporting Classrooms Without Walls, with a goal to help 10 Afghan women earn their GEDs online—a first step toward higher education and greater freedom.

Our aim is to raise money for 5 women to complete their GED’s at a cost of $1000 each. Once they achieve their diploma, the doors may open for thme to continue with post secondary education. Classrooms without Walls allows for this opportunity to be possible.

Chance to meet special guests and local changemakers. Martin Parnell, David Falconer – Founder of Classroom without Walls & Cochrane Resident, and more!
