Urbancasual.ca is proud to have been a small part of this awesome initiative to support our own local charities.

A tremendous thank you to all the Cochranites who gave donations and who made this initiative a huge success, like our friends from the Corner Coworking & Cowarehousing, Half Hitch Brewing Company, Amped2Play, Chuck Steel’s Axe House, Ana Botelho, and Shannon Designs Embroidery & Promotions.

The three Drive-Thru Bottle Drops raised a total of $4,144.75, with each participating Cochrane charity to receive $592.00.

It's a terrible photo, but the evidence didn't last long! $15 for a 2 topping pizza + 10 wings on Tuesdays at @ducksontheroof93 #supportlocal #patiolife #mycochrane #datenight #wingsnight #nokidsallowed
Facebook is good for the memories sometimes. This photo is from June 2015, when I lived in Heartland on Belgian Street. That whole area is now filled with houses and stores. *Sam #mycochrane #heartland #cochranealberta #rainbows
I hosted my first Zoom cocktail (and mocktail) happy hour with the Kiwanis Club of Cochrane and Area yesterday. I taught them a few favourites & a few new drinks that can all be made with your favourite alcohol (or no alcohol!) & using ingredients you likely already have in your fridge. The conversation was spirited & it was awesome to help this group raise some funds. Oh BTW, I am Pro Serve Certified & I was a bartender on George Street in Newfoundland back when I was a youngin'. Always happy to pull out the skills. Let me know if your group would like have a cocktail night. *Sam #mycochrane #cocktailsandconnections #bartender #mixologist #skills

Since I just shared a reel of me scarfing down poutine, maybe I'll follow it up with a post about staying active - everything in moderation, right? By simply sharing about our physical activity adventures in Cochrane on our social media channels & by using the Participaction APP, we can WIN $100,000 for Cochrane - with the Community Better Challenge. 2 Action Steps to complete RIGHT NOW: 1. Make it possible for Sport 4 Life Cochrane to share your posts about how you're staying active and connected to their channels by tagging them @sport4lifecochrane. You can join the challenge solo or as a team (with coworkers, family, friends). 2. Get the #communitybetterchallenge app at participaction.com! Let's start logging those activities Cochrane and let's win $100,000 for our community! *Sam #mycochrane #getfitandhavefun #participaction #activeliving #win #contest #lovewhereyoulive
Philip will be down at Riverfront Park in Cochrane today from 2pm to 5:36pm (216 minutes), to honour the lives of residential school children in Canada who did not return home to their families. He will be available to share his own story, accept a log or two for his fire & to pass sandwiches through the smoke to feed those honored. Feel free to stop by with a log, a sandwich or a non-perishable food donation for Morley. *Sam #mycochrane #residentialschools #neverforget
