How to Find News Near High River on High River Times

Updated

To find news about nearby communities, open the High River Times homepage and scroll to the "News near High River" section, which sits below the main local stories and the Latest Videos block. That section links out to coverage from neighbouring outlets, including Airdrie Echo and Cochrane Times, so it is the fastest route to regional headlines without leaving the site.

What the section contains

The "News near High River" feed lists stories from surrounding communities, each tagged with its place name. Based on the homepage, entries typically include:

  • Airdrie stories from Airdrie Echo, such as school naming and construction updates (for example, Rocky View Schools seeking names for a new Airdrie school, and a groundbreaking for a K-9 school in the Bayview neighbourhood).
  • Cochrane stories from Cochrane Times, covering topics like RCMP and police activity, local projects, and community events (for example, four men charged after a Calgary police drug seizure, and Rotary Hitching Posts at three Cochrane parks).
  • A mix of open and subscriber-only items — some Cochrane headlines are marked "Subscriber only," so access to those specific stories may depend on a subscription to that outlet.

Each item shows the source publication and the community label, which makes it easy to scan for the town you care about.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to highrivertimes.com.
  2. Scroll past the top headlines ("Biggest week of the year") and the Latest Videos row.
  3. Stop at the "News near High River" heading.
  4. Scan the headlines; the community name (Airdrie, Cochrane) appears under each one.
  5. Click a headline to open the full story on the partner outlet's page.

Expected result: you land on the full article for that nearby community, hosted by the originating publication.

Common snags

  • Paywalls on partner stories. Headlines marked "Subscriber only" may not open in full without a subscription to that outlet. The homepage itself does not state pricing, so check the partner site for terms.
  • Ads interrupting the scroll. The page places advertisement blocks between sections ("This advertisement has not loaded yet…"), so the "News near High River" heading may sit further down than expected.
  • Section position shifts. Because the homepage is updated with new stories and videos, the exact placement of the section can move; use the heading text as your anchor rather than a fixed scroll distance.

If you want more than the feed shows

The homepage feed is a selection, not a full archive. For broader regional coverage, follow the linked publications directly — Airdrie Echo and Cochrane Times — or use the LOCAL SPOTLIGHT block further down the page, which points to local businesses and services rather than news. For High River itself, the main headline area and Local News items remain the primary source.
