Delegates and Town council mark the official start of Centre Ave. connector project to downtown on August 16, 2013.

Cochrane's Centre Avenue is slated to officially open Friday, September 6, and the town is inviting residents to join the festivities!

The grand opening ceremony will salute the history of road transportation in Cochrane, and will include the Bow Valley High School jazz band.

Featured will be model vehicles that were used to transport people and goods around town from the 1880s through to modern times.

Showcased will be antique motor vehicles, historic wagons pulled by horses, mounted riders on horseback and modern bicycles that will travel along a portion of the Avenue roadway to kick things off.

You'll be able to catch all the fun starting at 10am, and festivities will run until 11am at the intersection of Centre Ave and Bow Street, at the Quarry.
