Safe and Trusted Canada uses Cities, Towns and Trade Areas as a way to communicate effectively with Consumers and Businesses. A business in a city means it serves that city. A business in a trade area serves that city and the surrounding area. Trade areas allow businesses to expand their reach provincially and across Canada. A Trade Area designation includes the city name and a TA designation. See all Listings In Canada

Consumers can still search by city and town. Businesses with accounts such as Basic, Plus, Standard, and Advanced receive placement in their Provincial Trade Area and one Local Trade Area. Extended Visibility Options are available for $199 per year for Standard, Advanced, and Professional subscriptions. Setup is free, and you'll instantly get in front of consumers before everyone else, except the first business in your area and category to sign up. The business owner is always in control and can leave at any time. They have their own username and password.
Extended Provincial Trade Areas can be used within the province for the business or, if allowed, interprovincially. A lawyer in Saskatoon may serve Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver or Toronto. A medical professional may serve numerous areas in their province or, as a specialist, attract consumers from other provinces. You can sell a product in your small-town location and expand across Canada with our system. Compare All Your Options to Grow Your Business.

Business Detail
Nestled at the base of Big Hill in the Valley of the Bow River the Town of Cochrane is situated in a truly picturesque location. Add the view of the foothills and the Rocky Mountains to the west, and it seems only natural that an urban center would have developed here. Along with the beauty of the location, Cochrane also has the advantage of being in a very prosperous mixed farming area.Cochrane was named after Senator Matthew Henry Cochrane, the man who established the Cochrane Ranche in 1881. With the historic site of the Ranche on the western edge of Town, it would seem logical to assume that Cochrane automatically developed as an urban centre to serve the needs of the ranching population. Such was not the case. In fact, in the 1880âs and early 1890âs it seemed that Cochrane might never become much more than a railway siding.
The Canadian Pacific Railway granted the townsite in 1885 and named it in honour of Senator Cochrane, but few people made Cochrane their home.
The little hamlet of Cochrane became a village in 1903. In 1906, Cochrane had a population of 158. Five years later, the village boasted a population of 395. Cochrane provided all the services necessary for the growing community, and perhaps more importantly, the residents took advantage of the resources at hand. Before World War I, Cochrane was home to a stone quarry, a sawmill, and four brick plants. Within the community, skilled artisans combined their talents with local products to construct buildings of quality and personal style thus giving Cochrane a unique and special character.
The days of expansion and prosperity, however, came abruptly to an end at the onset of World War I. The depression of 1913 caused serious problems in local industries and the shortage of manpower caused by the war in 1914 sealed the fate of the Townâs industrial base. Many residents left Cochrane during the war years, but because it continued to act as the service centre for the rural population, the village was able to survive with a decreased but constant population of approximately 300. It was not until after World War II that Cochrane began a renewed expansion, and in 1971, the community was incorporated as a Town with a population exceeding 800.
The general economic boom of the 1970âs brought many new residents and a great burst of construction activity. As in most Alberta towns, the optimism and expansion of the early seventies initiated a process of modernization which either demolished or resurfaced many of the older structures.
Today, Cochrane is still noted for its western heritage, with its unique buildings and popular Main Street, as well as its small town hospitality. With the completion of the downtown revitalization and celebration of the Townâs centennial in 2003, Cochrane has become a popular tourist attraction for many. The Town has had a steadily increasing population over the last decade and the 2004 census boasted an official population of 12,418.

Every business can access any trade area in Canada. A contractor can access other trade areas, but may need a municipal license for those areas.

The number of city or town trade areas depends on the subscription type and if the business purchases extra trade areas with Extended Visibility.
