Description of the flag

The Town of Cochrane changed its flag. I think it happened last year (2009) when the new logo was introduced. The new flag shows a logo on a white background. The logo consists of a rider on a horse faced right, and "cochrane / HOW THE WEST IS NOW" below. Photo of it can be seen here: http://www.cochraneeagle.com/2010/09/firefighters-to-build-homes-in-haiti

The Town:
"Cochrane is a town in the Canadian province of Alberta. The town is located 18 km west of the Calgary city limits along Highway 1A. With a population of 15,424 (2009), Cochrane is the second largest town in Alberta and one of the fastest growing communities in Canada. It is part of Calgary's Census Metropolitan Area (1,107,200 in 2006) and a member community of the Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP). The town is surrounded by Rocky View County." - from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochrane,_Alberta
