Cochrane poised for further growth
The explosive growth that Cochrane continues to enjoy is evident when Mayor Ivan Brooker reels off the names of more than a dozen new communities either under development or in the planning stages in the scenic town west of Calgary.
"We've had huge growth – we were the second-fastest growing community in all of Canada from 2011 to 2016," said Brooker.
"People love the location. We're a beautiful community, you're on your way to the mountains, and we're not a small town necessarily, in the aspects of not having services. We have everything you would expect in a big city. The amenities are there for anything you might want to entertain as a family."

The song of the river
Tamani Communities hopes small-town lifestyle and nature's grandeur will bring new buyers to its Riversong development
There's nothing like good economic news – and maybe a strong hint that winter is finally melting away – to draw home shoppers out of hibernation and into show homes.
Cam Hart, vice-president of Riversong developer Tamani Communities, says there is a different attitude among those visiting show homes in Riversong on the south side, within the town boundaries of Cochrane.
"We definitely see a more positive outlook going into this year than at the beginning of 2015 and 2016," said Hart. "And as the local and regional economies continue to stabilize and improve, we believe we'll see more buyers."
