Cochrane

Now that it’s officially fall in Cochrane, it’s time to start pulling out the fall fashion! Nothing goes better with that new sweater than a hot cup of McCafe Coffee.

Today, CochraneNow's Eric and Lauren headed into Mansour's Menswear to surprise the team with McCafe coffee and cookies to brighten their Tuesday morning.

Mansour's was nominated here and this was attached to the nomination. "For years my wife has been bragging about all the nice clothes she can get in Cochrane and now it’s finally my turn!”

No emergency, folks.

STARS landed in Cochrane this to bring five Calgary CEOs leaders together to participate in Rescue in the Rockies.

The potential for a strike at the Port of Vancouver has become a reality.

Members of the Grains Workers Union Local 333 were on the picket line at 7 am Pacific Time today after issuing a 72 hour strike notice on the weekend.

The Union and the Vancouver Terminal Elevators Association have been unable to agree on a new contract. 

The walkout by more than 600 workers is impacting Viterra's Cascadia and Pacific Terminals, Richardson International Terminal, Cargill Limited Terminal, the G3 Vancouver Terminal and Alliance Grain Terminal.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a campaign-style speech in the House of Commons as he asked other members of Parliament to support a motion that could trigger an early election. 

Poilievre outlined his plans to increase revenue and reduce interest rates and debt, cut development taxes and restore what he calls "the promise of Canada."

The non-confidence motion Poilievre has put forward is the first test for the minority government since the NDP ended its supply-and-confidence deal with the Liberals earlier this month.

Picket lines have gone up at six grain terminals in Metro Vancouver as workers began a strike.

More than 600 workers represented by Grain Workers Union Local 333 are off the job.

Union president Douglas Lea-Smith says the employer need to come back to the bargaining table to negotiate a deal.

The union says it provided the employer with a "comprehensive package" last Thursday and the next day, the association indicated it had no counter offer.

Year-round, the Cochrane Public Library (CPL) offers a number of programs and events to increase awareness and appreciation of Indigenous culture.

Carmen Erison, CPL program and engagement manager, says it's a drop-in event from 2 to 3 p.m. and registration isn't required.

“We visit hospitals, seniors homes, hospice treatment facilities, addiction facilities, the Children’s Hospital and even the airport,” says Chad Moore, fundraising and events coordinator for PALS and owner of Yoda.
