Council will hear updates on planned programming for the Station and from two delegations about progress on the Cochrane to Calgary trail project and Big Hill Spring Provincial Park preservation efforts April 19.
Rotary Club of Cochrane member Alex Baum is set to make a presentation to council about the trail, which will soon be named after the Trail Steering Committee selects one of the 1,300 submissions collected through the Name the Trail contest.
Gerry Bietz, president of the Bighill Creek Preservation Society will also provide an update on the society's efforts to protect creek drainage at Big Hill Springs. A status update regarding the gravel mines they believe will put the park and creek at risk will be part of Beitz's presentation.
Council will also hear from Cochrane's interim director of development and services, Mike Korman, about updates to programming planned for The Station, Cochrane's transit hub which is on track for completion this summer.
Among some of the programs planned are computer programming classes run by the Cochrane Public Library and a business mentorship program run by Cochrane Tourism.
The Committe of the Whole meeting, as with all council meetings, is open to the public and will be live-streamed here when it begins at 5:30 p.m.
