Last numbers I'd heard was Cochrane's license will limit them to around 30-35k population (currently about 18k), which was forecast around 2021. They did look at the pipeline option from Calgary already and decided against it for various reasons. They were told by the province that there might be the appetite to allow transferring licenses but no guarantees (some of the farmers around Cochrane have huge licenses that are mostly unused. One I believe holds a license bigger then the town's current license)
