CochraneNow donates nearly $10K to schools’ music programs

Cochrane’s radio station 91.5 CochraneNow donated $3,200 to each of the local high schools to support their band programs.

The funding comes through Golden West Broadcasting’s Canadian Content Development (CCD) grants.

Each year, the radio station takes pride in giving back to the community.

In the past, the local high schools have used the grant money to enhance their music programs by purchasing a variety of instruments and equipment. This has included not only traditional band instruments but also modern gear like synthesizers, DJ equipment, and sound editing tools.
