DESCRIPTION:\nThe Town of Truro\, through the Town’s African Nova Scotia Community Strategy Committee\, is honoured to host a significant community event recognizing the historic contributions of the No. 2 Construction Battalion\, Canada’s first and only all-Black battalion to serve during the First World War.\n\n\nThe Official Renaming and Monument Unveiling Ceremony will take place on Saturday\, November 8\, 2025\, at 2:00 p.m. at the No. 2 Construction Battalion Athletic Facility\, located at 57 Golf Street\, Truro. A reception will follow across the street at the Truro Golf Club\, 86 Golf Street.\n\n\nThis ceremony will include the official renaming of the athletic facility and the unveiling of a permanent monument dedicated to the memory and legacy of the men who served in the No. 2 Construction Battalion.\n\n\nThe site holds profound historical significance as it served as the former parade and drilling grounds for the No. 2 Construction Battalion during their training in Truro before their deployment overseas. The permanent monument and facility renaming ensure this vital part of Canadian and African Nova Scotian history will be preserved and recognized for generations to come.\n\n\nFunding for the monument and commemorative event has been provided by the Town of Truro and through Veterans Affairs Canada’s Commemorative Partnership Program.\n\n\nThe Town of Truro welcomes all residents and visitors to join in this moment of remembrance and recognition.\n\n\n𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀:\n𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆\, 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟴\, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱\n𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: 𝟮:𝟬𝟬 𝗽.𝗺.\n𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗡𝗼. 𝟮 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆\, 𝟱𝟳 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁\, 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗿𝗼\n𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄: 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯\, 𝟴𝟲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁\, 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗿𝗼\n\n
