Cochrane, as we all know, is unlike anywhere in Canada. Cochrane is where people find nature underscored by history, a place that creates a feeling that is hard to define and even harder to forget.

As a local, you probably can acknowledge this feeling. It is something hard to describe, but it comes from the genuine nature of our people and our sense of community. We’re kind and friendly, and we genuinely care. Our small business community is pivoting to meet the needs of the community in new ways during these challenging times.

This campaign is about creating a platform for locals to publicly declare their commitment to the local business community, highlight their favourite places and simultaneously generate awareness about some of the great businesses that exist here.

How it works:

 

Shoot a short selfie video!

Grab your cellphone and star in your very own video telling everyone why #CochraneLovesLocal! Rave about your favourite local hot spots or businesses!

 

Upload your video so we can share it!

We will share the love on our social channels

VISIT SOME OF OUR FEATURED LOCAL BUSINESSES

As our community adjusts to the current health climate, a number of our local businesses have committed to operating under the new Open & Safe Campaign. These measures are done to ensure the safety of their staff and guests as they continue to provide exceptional service and unique local offerings.
