The Cochrane Activettes was chartered in May 1978 and is a "Not for Profit" Society dedicated to helping those less fortunate.

The Activettes are a dedicated group of women whose objectives are to engage in charitable welfare and/or civic work in the community to make Cochrane and district a better place for all of us to live.

Our main service project is running the food bank and providing Christmas hampers. We are the owners and operators of “The Clothesline”, a used clothing store located on Centre Avenue, which is run through the generous donation of time by many community volunteers.

Other services include catering, hosting Santa at Light-Up and hosting a Laugh Shop comedy night (More on these events see our Cochrane Activettes Events page). We meet the second Wednesday of each month at the King Solomon’s Lodge on Centre Ave.
