Ambassador Profile Truper McBride

Truper McBride has been an advocate for the Cochrane Sustainability Plan (CSP) since its earliest days.  The newly re-elected Mayor of The Town of Cochrane helped lead the charge in developing the CSP, and remains involved to this day as a Sustainability Ambassador.

Name: Truper McBride

I live in East Cochrane with my wife Jennifer and our two young boys Sam and Ben.  I served on Council for nine years, with the last three as Mayor.

How long you have lived in Cochrane:

15 years

What actions do you currently take to do your part towards achieving the targets in the Cochrane Sustainability Plan?

• I walk to the RancheHouse to work everyday leaving the car at home
• I am working to implement regional and local transit
• I use a push mower to cut the lawn instead of a gas lawnmower

Why should residents get involved in making the CSP a reality?

The CSP represents what the people of Cochrane have told us overwhelmingly they want our Town to be in 50 years.  In order for us to make the CSP vision a reality and to meet the targets in the Plan, everyone needs to lend a hand and declare action.
