Labor Day Pancake Breakfast
This breakfast, served on the morning of the Labor Day parade, is a great opportunity for the Activettes members to meet the people of Cochrane and area and create awareness of our organization. We are busy serving up pancakes and sausage while music and entertainment are enjoyed by all. Cochrane Ford has been our title sponsor for this great event. Guys Bakery and Tim Hortons are also sponsors.
