Notice:
The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.
A connector road in Hantsport was named in honour of William Hall — the first Nova Scotian and first person of African descent to receive the Victoria Cross medal for bravery. Premier Darrell Dexter unveiled the William Hall V.C. Memorial Highway sign at a ceremony at Province House in November 2010.
During African Heritage Month 2010, Canada Post honoured Hall by issuing a commemorative stamp with his likeness.
