207 As Cochrane endeavors to preserve its past, while simultaneously marching confidently into the future, Genung maintains that the present is still the best, and only, place to be. “Being so close to Calgary, we have all the amenities of a big city, but we still have a small-town feel,” he avers. “As the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, we have the best of both worlds. You can live in Cochrane and enjoy the mountain views, explore the river valley. If you’re a mountain biker, a hiker, or a skier, you’re 30 minutes from the mountains. But you can be at an international airport in 30 min- utes. Cochrane’s got everything that anyone could ask for in a community.” Cochrane, Alberta – it’s how the west is now.
