Cochrane in Brief

CEI Christmas Tree Fundraiser

The Cochrane Ecological Institute has had to alter its plans for its Annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser event due to the recent restrictions put in place by the provincial government. The event will be going ahead at its usual time, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday (Dec. 5) and Sunday (Dec. 6), but now a timeslot must be booked and trees must be purchased online. Once you’ve pre-booked a time slot and pre-paid for a tree, head over to the Cochrane Ecological Institute at the time of your booking to prevent a line-up of cars forming, which would be against current provincial regulations. Visit https://ceichristmasttrees.app.rsvpify.com/ to make your reservations.

Bike Cochrane launches online membership drive

Bike Cochrane has launched an online membership drive, with some incentives to buy early.

The prizes include a jersey, hat and bottle from Big Hill Cycle, a $50 Half Hitch gift card, a $25 M&M Meats gift card, a $20 Coffee Traders gift card, a bike pump from Ride Bikes and Service, a gift package from Beer Den, which includes a t-shirt, hat and growler and a free day fat bike rental from Bike Bros. Visit bikecochrane.com/ to purchase your membership.

Shop local this holiday season

It’s no secret that this year has been especially hard on small businesses. With capacity restrictions, added costs related to personal protective equipment, sanitization products and cleaning protocols many small businesses are struggling. In a bid to support local businesses the Town of Cochrane, in partnership with Cochrane Tourism and the Cochrane and District Chamber of Commerce has launched the 2020 Gift Guide, available online at shopcochrane.ca/. The 2020 Gift Guide features great gift ideas exclusively from local businesses in Cochrane.
