Cochrane Light Up has been an annual tradition since 1984!

Light Up is a community and volunteer-driven event that sees upwards of 8000+ visitors on Historic Main Street each year to welcome the winter holiday season. Local businesses along the venue decorate their storefronts, and stay open for the duration of the event, not only offering the unique shopping opportunities that only our Historic Main street offers, but sometimes a place to quickly warm up!

New this year: Take a COLT to Light Up! Check the routes here or on cochranelightup.com.

With an aim to foster resilience and stress tolerance, this presentation explores the foundations of Mindfulness and shares practices that enrich the parent-child relationship. Through direct practice, conceptual teaching and discussion, you develop a deeper awareness of your own stress reactions, an increased ability to respond more skillfully to the unplanned and stressful moments with your child, and to listen with more kindness and attention to yourself and your child.
