Envision Cochrane 2050
Thank you for shaping the future
Thank you for sharing your feedback throughout the Envision Cochrane 2050 process. Together we've created a plan that reflects our community's vision for how we live, work, play and thrive.

- Growth
- Land use
- Community design
- Housing
- Parks, recreation and natural areas
- Arts and culture
- Community and protective services
- Mobility
- Servicing

Council will discuss the Plan on December 9th for Second Reading, then it will be circulated to the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB). If the CMRB is comfortable with the policy alignment between their Regional Growth Plan and the Envision Cochrane 2050 Plan, then Council will give Third Reading in March 2025, thereby approving the Plan and allowing it to be used to inform Town strategic decisions.
