FAST GROWING JOB MARKET

One of the few communities in Northern Ontario to have experienced growth in the last few years, Cochrane’s economic landscape offers job & investment opportunities in just about every sector.

SMALL TOWN, BIG AMENITIES

With some of the lowest property taxes in Northeastern Ontario, Cochrane provides the highest quality of northern living at a competitive cost to the tax payer, which means you can go out and do more things like affording for your kids to play hockey in a state of the art center or going fishing, camping, and hunting. Cochrane truly understands how to provide the best quality of life at the most competitive of costs.

PURCHASE YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS TO BUILD EQUITY

Home ownership in Cochrane continues to thrive at a rate of 76%, much higher than the provincial average. The cost of resale property in Cochrane has climbed over the past several years and appears to be at the high end of Northern Ontario communities in terms of growth. This makes Cochrane the choice for small and large business, as well as those homeowners who could use this disposable income to inject back into our already vibrant economy.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE & NORTHERN HOSPITALITY

Looking for an active lifestyle that takes you beyond the hustle and bustle of the city, and looks further than the rural amenities of the countryside. You can see most sports clubs out at our annual Welcome to Cochrane showcase. The Town of Cochrane encourages its residents to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle and promotes affordable programming through its Doable Neighbourhood Project initiatives and through its relatively new recreational complex the Tim Horton Events Centre.
