UPDATE: The Norwich Fire Chief has released a statement in regard to the Norwich Christmas Parade.
Derek VanPagee says even though the Norwich Fire Service is not organizing the parade this year, there is still hope that someone else will step up. The Fire Service is coordinating with other groups and working alongside Ward 2 Councillor Lynne DePlancke to make it happen.
He adds that parades will also be taking place in Burgessville and Otterville this year, so the Christmas spirit will be alive and well in the Township.
