Several Cochrane youth held a candlelight vigil at Mitford Park last Friday, Aug. 14 to remember three young Cochranites who lost their lives during the past couple of months.
Timothy Olenyk died July 10; Jesse Dostaler, July 16; and Lamont Murphy, Aug. 9.
All three of the youth who lost their lives were 18 years old, and two were struck and killed by trains on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) tracks, which has prompted CPR to open a booth at this weekend’s Cochrane Fall Fair in an effort to educate people about rail safety.
