Thank goodness for Facebook memories (or we would have forgotten)… but today we are TWO!

Two years ago we launched the Urban Casual Facebook & Instagram pages + website, to help the people of Cochrane know more about what’s going on in their town!

We are so excited to be a part of this community – thank you so much for following along!
