Cochrane

Cochranites who hit the road early were treated to a rare sight this morning.

A bright meteor streaked across the sky around 6:34 a.m. Wednesday (Nov 13) morning.

The format of the ASAA high school provincial playoffs may have shifted each of the last three years but what hasn't changed is the consistent threat of the Cochrane Cobras.

Kick-off is 1 p.m. at the Cochrane Cobras turf.

On Nov. 10, Cochrane engineered a convincing 41-13 win against the Taber Rebels in a south semifinal game on home turf.

It's a special time of the year at Cochrane Home Treasures.

The preparation for the day is months in the making, explains store manager Cayley Breeze.

The trial date has been set for the five players on Team Canada's 2018 World Junior hockey include, including Cochrane's Dillon Dube. It will begin on Apr. 22 and expected to last eight weeks.

The trial of former NHLers Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Carter Hart and Alex Formenton have each been charged with one count sexual assault, and Michael McLeod has been charged with two counts of sexual assault, including one relating to aiding someone else in the offence.

Dube is currently reported to be playing with the Dinamo Minsk of the KHL.

Town council will be deciding by the end of the year as to whether Councillor Marn Fedeyko's appointment as deputy mayor from June 26 to Oct. 20, 2025, will stand.

Those measures included forbidding her to be deputy mayor for the balance of the term.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the Canada carbon rebate for small businesses will be tax-free.

In a statement posted to X late Tuesday, Freeland clarified the parameters of the program after an advocacy group for small business raised concerns that the rebate would be a taxable benefit.
