Cochrane

UPDATE: Cochrane RCMP will be joined by country musician Paul Brandt during the press conference on a human trafficking investigation. Brandt is the founder of “Not in my City”,  an organization that was launched in 2017 and raises awareness to prevent and end human trafficking and sexual exploitation. 

The original story follows:

The Cochrane RCMP have called two press conferences to share details on substantial cases. 

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon intervened Tuesday to end work stoppages at ports in both British Columbia and Montreal, directing the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order the resumption of all operations and move the talks to binding arbitration.

But labour experts and other groups say the minister's decision to intervene in the dispute sets a dangerous precedent that undermines workers' rights. 

Cochrane McDonald's and CochraneNow teamed up on this beautiful fall day to spoil F45 Training Cochrane with the McCafe Coffee Break! 

The entire staff got to kick back and enjoy free McCafe coffee and treats because of this nomination.

The final supermoon of the year will rise over Cochrane this week.

The Beaver Moon will light up the sky on Friday night and will appear closer and brighter than a regular full moon.

“The Beaver Moon reaches peak illumination on Friday, November 15, at 6:29 P.M,” reads a statement from the Farmers’ Almanac.

As the winter months approach and the days get shorter, staying safe as a pedestrian becomes even more important. 

Reduced visibility, icy sidewalks, and snow-covered streets can increase the risks for those walking near traffic.

Cochrane RCMP emphasizes the importance of pedestrian safety. 

"Pedestrians should wear bright or reflective clothing to increase their visibility to drivers. Avoid distractions like using your phone or wearing headphones while crossing streets. And, wear shoes with good traction to reduce the risk of slipping."

Say goodbye to the bottle drives and poinsettia sales.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has given 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post.

The notice is for both the union's urban and rural bargaining units.

In a release early Tuesday morning, the union says workers will be in a legal strike position as of Friday if negotiated settlements have not been reached.

However, the union says its national executive board has yet to decide if a job action will happen at the deadline, saying that will depend on Canada Post's actions at the bargaining table in the coming days.

Canadians gathered Monday in cities and towns across the country to honour the sacrifice of men and women in uniform who gave their lives in service of the country's values and principles.

Here are some scenes from Remembrance Day ceremonies across Canada.
