Riversong Real Estate & Community Guide
Just south of the Bow River lies the community of Riversong, a beautiful neighbourhood that keeps you close to the majesty of nature and the mountains, while being close enough to the amenities of a small city. Cochrane is one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada, but it still maintains its quaint, western-themed identity, as well as a gathering place for adventure activities. Walk downtown for the perfect ice cream cone, or visit the Cochrane Ranche Historic Site and explore history. Cochrane recently launched its Cochrane On-Demand Local Transit (COLT) system to provide public transportation to make the town even more accessible to its residents.
So Much to Love in Riversong
Take a walk along the river, or enjoy the kilometers of walking and bike paths. Cross the bridge and enjoy Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre, or visit downtown Cochrane and the many local shops and restaurants that you can find there.
Bow Valley High School is in Riversong’s backyard, and there is a variety of pre-schools in the area. Cochrane schools are part of the Rocky View School Division, as well as the Calgary Catholic School District. If homeschooling is more appealing, there is an active network called Cochrane Home Educators. There is a total of eight elementary schools that service Cochrane, with one providing French immersion, two Catholic, and one francophone school. There is a middle school that provides French immersion and three high schools. Of those three, one school continues with French immersion, and one is part of the Catholic division. Within these schools, there is programming for religious instruction as well.
