SUPPORT WALK
Join the Cochrane and Area Hospice Society every Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. for a 45 minute walk outside. The event takes place at Spray Lake Sawmill Family Sport Centre and if weather doesn't cooperate, the walk will be moved indoors. Participants have the option of continuing the conversation and socializing at a local coffee shop afterward. The walk isn't intended as a therapeutic group, but provides participants with an opportunity to experience the beauty of nature and companionship with others who are on a similar journey. The walk is free. For more information on the group visit their website at www.cochranehospicesociety.ca.
LIVE MUSIC AND COFFEE
Ah, coffee and live music, they go together like peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, milk and cookies. On January 25, Good Earth Coffeehouse will be welcoming musicians from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Saturday. The live music series will be an opportunity to enjoy acoustic sounds from local talents within Cochrane while sipping on a joe. Jason Cote will be first to take the stage on the 25th followed by K.T. Calcutt on February 1, Martin Russell on February 8 and Ray Goodship on February 15. Start making Good Earth your new chill spot on Saturdays' and make sure you bring some friends.

MEOW IT FORWARD
On Jan. 25 - 26 all adoptions of cats six months or older will be by donation only at the Cochrane and Area Humane Society (CAHS). All donations will go toward Norman's Fund. All purchases from Norma's Nook will also be directed to Norman's Fund. Norman was the society's longtime resident cat for 15 years. His contribution to CAHS was a testament to all 'street cats' and is why the society believes they are deserving of opportunity and a loving home.
