Cobourg council has agreed to requests from Town Crier Mandy Robinson to declare July 14 International Town Crier Day in the Town of Cobourg.
She also requested that this recognition be extended to become an annual event, and that the town create a video to share on-line advising everyone of the importance of Town Crier Day (and stated her willingness to be involved in that project).
