Since 1989, the Cochrane Environmental Action Committee (CEAC) has been involved in local and regional environmental issues. CEAC has approached environmental concerns as opportunities to seek solutions by engaging stakeholders, other organizations and citizens. This approach has garnered CEAC much respect and an esteemed position in the community.
CEAC was formed by a group of citizens concerned about a variety of issues. Their first focus was to establish recycling facilities in Cochrane. Funds were secured for recycling bins and the facility was operated successfully by volunteers for four years, after which the responsibility was passed on to the town. The success came at a high price to CEAC though, resulting in significant volunteer burnout and the near demise of the group. But a small group of dedicated individuals persevered, helping CEAC achieve many more significant accomplishments.

The Cochrane Environmental Action Committee (CEAC) sponsors and operates the Cochrane Farmers’ Market. The market is run entirely by CEAC volunteers; proceeds from the market are used to support CEAC in its efforts to make Cochrane a more environmentally aware and active community.
