Full disclosure: Chris Whyman is my city's town crier. He's a nice man; I've run into him on occasion. That outfit looks hella hot when he does his thing during the summer tho.

Elcid Barrett cried the town
For twenty brave men etc.
There's actually an Ontario Guild of Town Criers. Chris Wyman is a member.
There's a map showing towns in Southern Ontario which have a designated town crier
