Easter in Norwich
Easter falls on different days each year because it is tied to the lunar calendar, specifically the first full moon after the spring equinox, which means the date fluctuates depending on the moon’s cycle, and this practice is believed to have originated from pagan celebrations of spring and rebirth associated with the goddess Eostre. The changing seasons were highly important; hence, the “movable feast” nature of Easter. Eggs and bunnies are symbols of Easter and spring because they represent the renewal, fertility, and rebirth which Eostre bestows on us each year.
Norwich ON – Allow Backyard Hens – There is an older petition that Alishia Stubbs started that I just noticed. Why not allow some chickens in the backyard? In times of expensive food for families, have some chickens and get fresh eggs. Sign the petition if you agree. Oh, the petition does not include rosters. I live in Norwich proper and some of my neighbours have chickens and rosters already. What is the harm of making it legal so people can eat healthy? We are a farming community, and many cities and towns in Ontario have legalized this activity (see list).
Lloyd Boyce is a hometown hero. He maintains turtle pond for the youngsters around town to enjoy. For them to play hockey on, for them to figure skate on, for the little ones to learn to skate on.

Who founded of Norwich Ontario?
Founding of Norwich – In 1809 Peter Lossing, a member of the Society of Friends from New York visited Norwich Township, and in June, 1810, with his brother-in-law, Peter De Long, purchased 15000 acres of land in the area. That fall Lossing brought his family to Upper Canada and early in 1811 and settled . The De Long family and nine others joined Lossing the same year and by 1820 an additional group of about fifty had settled within the tract. Many were Quakers and a frame meeting house, planned in 1812, was erected in 1817. These resourceful pioneers founded one of the most successful Quaker communities in Upper Canada.
