A message from MAYOR & Council

As your Mayor and Council, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our town remains a place where everyone feels heard, valued, and proud to call home. It is with this commitment in mind that we present our new Strategic Plan – a roadmap designed with your needs and aspirations at its heart.

Our Strategic Plan focuses on what the community wants, ensuring that we address current needs while preparing for future growth. This means scheduling and conducting regular maintenance, such as road repairs, to keep our town running smoothly and safely. Our goal is to be proactive, tackling issues now so we are ready for the exciting growth ahead.

We recognize the immense opportunities on our horizon, but we also cherish our small-town community feel. Balancing these big opportunities with our unique charm is a priority. This plan has been crafted with input from the whole community, reflecting a diverse range of voices and perspectives. It is, essentially, a collective vision for our future.

As we implement this plan, we are hitting the reset button to refocus our efforts and ensure we are on the right track. It is a living document, open to adjustments as we learn and grow together. This flexibility allows us to adapt to new challenges and opportunities, ensuring we remain aligned with your needs.

Accountability is a cornerstone of our approach. We are committed to providing an Annual Strategic Plan Progress Report to update you and demonstrate our dedication to transparency and responsibility.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we are building a bright, prosperous future for our town, grounded in the values and spirit that make Cochrane “Wonderfully Unexpected”.

Warm regards,

Peter Politis
