It is once again time for the Cochrane community to recognize those individuals, community groups/organizations, businesses and schools for their outstanding achievements and contributions in our community. 

There are 13 awards handed out every May in Cochrane and all category finalists are recognized and celebrated for their exemplary job.

Cochrane has a heart and spirit unlike many other communities and the awards are a great way to thank those people that give Cochrane the feel it has.

Councillor Susan Flowers will sit on the deciding committee as town representative along with educators, seniors, businesses, sustainability champions, and the Cochrane and District Chamber of Commerce. Flowers is looking forward to reading about all the great nominees. "Cochrane has so many wonderful people who make it what it is! To be part of recognizing them will be awesome."

Flowers knows first hand the importance of the awards as she received the 'Order of Cochrane' last year. "After receiving an award myself last year I know how special it is to be recognized for the work you do and the dedicated organizations that you're part of."

The awards will be handed out the afternoon on May 27 at the Cochrane RancheHouse.

A full list of all 13 categories can be found HERE and nominations will be accepted until Monday, April 9.
