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.
