Welcome to the Resort Village of Cochin

Two sets of passing lanes are now under construction on Highway 4 between North Battleford and Cochin. As construction work progresses, please respect the work zone, follow the posted signage and slow down. For more information please refer to the Highway Hotline.

Shorelines are one of the most unique places on earth and our actions can have a huge impact on these delicate interfaces. Daily choices by all individuals can help conserve our lakes, which not only helps maintain or improve your property value but also sustains the many reasons you enjoy waterfront living – a place for you to

rest and relax, swim, fish and play!

 We received inquiries about taxes being higher than noted on Council Comments. After looking into this a mill rate factor was taken on some of the municipal taxes. We don’t have a mill rate factor. We have a mill rate. This was a computer glitch that added not only a mill rate, but a mill rate factor as well. Essentially doubling people’s mill rate. As a result, all of the municipal taxes increased beyond the 100 dollars on base tax. If you already paid your taxes you will have a credit on your account. The new tax notices are now in the mail. Please do not pay the tax notice dated June 21, 2018.  More information is available here.

In October of 2017, Clifton Associates Ltd. was retained by the Resort Village of Cochin to assess Hunts Cove Hill and the surrounding area with respect to slope stability and erosion. The intent of this project was to: 

• Identify and assess areas of concern with respect to landslide and erosion risk, 
• Provide recommendations for mitigation and/or remediation for identified areas of concern, and
• Provide a slope stability and erosion best practices development guide, to assist the Client in developing policies and procedures to minimize slope stability and erosion risk for new developments, and modifications to existing properties.

 We are working to regularly clear the beach areas. Residents are asked to assist us by removing all items which will impede efficient cleaning of the beach areas. 

Bagged leaves will not be picked up until after the September long weekend.  In 2019 there will be two pickups:  after the May long weekend and after the September long weekend.  These 2018 and 2019 pickups will be for leaves bagged in clear plastic bags only and do not include tree and bush trimmings: leaves only.  Residents will have the responsibility of taking leaves not in clear plastic bags and tree and bush trimmings to the Village’s landfill which is open Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.  Residents should not allow this type of refuse to build up over the summer but should take the material to the landfill.
