When choosing a new community for your family, consider the whole lifestyle that comes with that new area.  If you have children who love baseball, softball, t-ball or slow pitch, organized ball in the Town of Cochrane covers the bases.

In the past three seasons, there have been more than 200 kids playing in minor leagues in Cochrane, something organizers attribute to the popularity of the Toronto Blue Jays across the country.  But it’s far more than the Canadian “Blue Jays Bump” says the head of Cochrane’s Minor Ball Association, Paul Vaillancourt.

In an interview with a Cochrane weekly, he said that in 2015 there were 284 kids registered for minor ball, which spiked to 403 kids in 2016 and this year, registration has jumped another 18% to 476.

Halfway between Cochrane and Calgary in the rural community of Springbank lies an exciting new community that is creating a lot of buzz.  It’s called Harmony, and if your family is looking for a quite lifestyle similar to what the Town of Cochrane offers, it might be worth checking out.

It’s a brand-new community, built just west of the Springbank airport above the Bow River Valley.  Recently at the Sales and Marketing (SAM) Awards, it captured the top spot for Community of the Year in the Calgary Region, among others.

The Developers Behind Harmony

It’s being developed by two different companies who are collaborating on this innovative country community – Bordeaux Properties and another well-known Canadian developer – Qualico Communities.  People
