Sunset Magazine based out of Oakland, California has named Cochrane number 11 out of 20 as being a community that exemplifies Western can-do.

Recognizing Cochrane's expanding tech industry with reputable companies such as Garmin and at least half a dozen others, Sunset Magazine, shares there is nothing better than an innovative community that offers new technology as well visions of the future.

Cochrane was the only Canadian community to be named and the magazine believes the West has been defined by communities that offer a sense of opportunity.

The town's welcome sign 'How The West Is Now' was recognized as the perfect fit for a community that is forward thinking.
