The Norwood contingent of Canadian Fencibles was first organized by Norm Vandenberg to serve for military tattoos, rememberance day parades, and other various functions. It was not until the Norwood 1812 reenactment in 2000 that the unit actually "fired their guns in anger." Currently, the school can uniform 16 other ranks, 2 ensigns, and 2 musicians. The unit also has a colour. Recently, the Norwood Canadian Fencibles benefitted from national attention, when a picture of them was featured in the Globe and Mail. The oldest and most storied student unit involved in the 1812 event, they set the bar for other student groups at our re-enactments.
