Welcome Mandy Robinson, the Town of Cobourg's first official female Town Crier!

A Cobourg resident for almost 30 years, Mandy was announced as the Town Crier for Cobourg at the 2015 New Year's Levee in Victoria Hall. She's also an avid photographer and poet, plays the piano and has dabbled in the arts including acting with the Northumberland Players along with opera singing. She is a mother to three daughters and a five-year-old grandson. She is a professional public speaker having been a toastmaster for nine years. Toastmasters is an organization that teaches leadership and communication skills. Mandy holds the title of Distinguished Toastmaster, has been an Area Governor, and competes with a view to reaching the world stage. This comes in handy as Mandy will write her own speeches for each event she hosts. Her wardrobe is designed by herself and put together by a local seamstress including all summer and winter Victoria gowns.
