Cochrane is a town in the Canadian province of Ontario, situated on Highway 11. Highway 11 is the major highway in the area and is part of the Trans-Canada Highway system. This production was prepared for promotional needs from the town. The town's population is made up of approximately half anglophone and half francophone residents. Cochrane is located east of Kapuskasing, northeast of Timmins, south of Moosonee, and north of Iroquois Falls. It is about a one-hour drive from Timmins, the major city of the region.

The town contains many references to polar bears. Its mascot is a large polar bear statue known as Chimo. There are also live polar bears at the new "Polar Bear Conservation and Educational Habitat and Heritage Village" which opened in the summer of 2004. Polar bears from the Metro Toronto Zoo were relocated to Cochrane while a new pavilion was being constructed.
