Heidelberg Materials ​submitted a development permit application in late 2023 to construct a concrete batch plant in the gravel pit adjacent to Riversong and the Bow River. This development permit application was withdrawn on May 27th, 2024 following concerns raised by Cochrane residents, mainly in the communities of RIversong and Gleneagles.

In their withdrawal letter, Heidelberg Materials indicated that they intended to “re-engage residents and town officials to share information and collect additional input to support a future development permit application for the project”.

An ad in the Feb 20th 2025 edition of the Cochrane Eagle (page A15) indicates that there is an upcoming Open House at the SLS Centre on Thursday March 6th. at 5pm.

We Need Your Input….on relocating two benches and the garbage can in the View Park

  • The two benches located at the west end of the Gleneagles Landing Green space (#11 on the Landscaping map) are rarely used. The Town is prepared to relocate them anywhere on Town land along the pathways in Gleneagles.
  • The garbage can located in the View Park next to the benches can get smelly, particularly in hot weather. The Town is prepared to move the garbage can to a location of our choice either in the Park or somewhere else in Gleneagles that is easily accessible tor dog walkers.

We are getting ready for spring

GECA’s Landscaping Committee is finalizing 2025 plans that will continue to upgrade our green spaces and make them more drought resistant. In addition to the boulevards and entrance and signage at Highway 1A, we will be focusing on The Landing Island and Murphy Brothers Park. Check back before the end of March for details.
