Men Unplugged
2025-11-19 17:00 - 22:00 (America/Edmonton)
In celebration of International Men’s Day we would like to invite the men of Cochrane to join us at Ranche House Cochrane for Men Unplugged
On International Men’s Day, the Cochrane Ranche House will come alive with Men Unplugged – “Breaking the Silence”, a powerful speaker and panel dinner event that brings men together from across Cochrane and the surrounding area. This gathering is more than just a dinner—it’s a space for real conversations, where men openly share the importance of breaking the silence and finding strength in vulnerability. Through inspiring stories and lived experiences, the evening will highlight how men can embrace openness and prioritize mental well-being.
A dynamic panel featuring men’s voices from diverse walks of life. These voices will lead an engaging discussion on how each they actively breaks the silence to support their own mental health, offering insight, encouragement, and practical ways for others to do the same.
This event is a call to men everywhere: together, we can end the silence and build healthier, stronger communities.

Emotions in Line & Colour: A Creative Exploration!
2026-05-07 18:30 - 20:00 | Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery, 208 1st Street W., Cochrane, Alberta, Canada
Emotions in Line & Colour: A Creative Exploration!
Join Route 22 Gallery and student art therapist, Kimberly Cota, for a unique session designed to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week.
Using the simple elements of line and color, we will explore how emotions can take shape on the page. This is not about creating a “perfect” piece of art; it is about the movement, the feeling, and the process of self-expression.
You’ll also spend time as a group exploring the ways our individual expressions may overlap and create a shared visual language for the things we feel.
This is a zero-pressure, supportive environment where the focus is on the experience rather than the finished product!
