In March 2025, Town Council endorsed the Age -Friendly Action Plan, a community-driven roadmap focused on making Cochrane a more accessible, inclusive and supportive place for older adults. The plan brings together community organizations, regional partners, residents and the Town to advance initiatives that help older adults stay connected, active and independent in the community they call home.
The Report to the Community event will highlight progress made during the first year of implementation, recognize the partners helping move the plan forward and provide an opportunity for residents to learn about how they can get involved.
