Help shape community wellness

We’re working on something big for Cochrane’s future – and we need your help! The Community Wellness Plan (CWP) is all about making our Town a safer and healthier place for everyone, especially young people.

The goal? To create a robust roadmap to support youth well-being in the community - for example, we want to make sure kids and teens feel healthy, happy, safe and supported as they grow and learn. By the end of this process, we'll have a clear picture of what programs and support are already out there and what we can do better. This is a three year plan that is expected to be complete by March 31, 2025.

The plan in action

We’re chatting with residents, youth, their families, youth service organizations and community members to better understand what’s working and what could be improved. From these conversations, you’ll help us to:

  • Find better ways to connect with and support youth through intervention and preventative programming
  • Develop accessible and evidence-based wellness strategies that prevent youth gang and gun violence
  • Strengthen community resilience through community collaboration and action

Join the conversation

Our youth survey is now open! Join the conversation:

  • In person: Meet the project team at the SLS Centre main lobby on Thursday, Feb. 6, from 5-7:30 PM to ask questions and give your input.
  • From home: Take the 7-9 minute online survey.

Help make Cochrane an even better place for youth! Survey closes Feb. 16.
