Cochrane, Railway town in northern Ontario, Canada
Cochrane stands at the intersection of major railway lines, with Lake Commando at its center and the surrounding boreal forest defining its landscape.
The town emerged in 1908 as a railway junction point and was named after Frank Cochrane, who served as Ontario's Minister of Lands and Forests.
The population of 5,390 residents represents an equal mix of English and French-speaking communities, creating a dual-language environment in daily life.
The Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat maintains regular visiting hours and offers educational programs about polar bears in their natural environment.
