The Goldboro Cenotaph was erected in 1999. It was constructed by Arsenault Monuments from Antigonish and made possible by the generous donations of numerous members of the community. The walkway was built by several community members.

This cenotaph replaces the cairn that was erected in 1968. The cairn was made of beach stone and had a two-tiered concrete base.

Erected in 1925, this memorial was originally dedicated to the memory of the local war dead of the First World War. Dedications to the memory of the Second World War and the Korean War were added later. The Cenotaph is 17 feet 6 inches high. The text below was taken from the book Historic Canso ("Issued Under the Auspices of The Town Council of Canso and the Canso Board of Trade"). Published 1928, in honour of "the erection of a Cairn and Tables by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada" on July 2, 1928.

"1925. The unveiling of the 'War Memorial,' erected by the I.O.D.E. in memory of the boys from Canso and Hazel Hill who lost their lives in the Great War, took place on Sept. 7th. The day was beautifully fine and a great concourse of people gathered from all parts of the county. A procession was formed at the Hesperus Hall and, led by a brass band, officers and sailors from the C. G. S. Patriot, war veterans, boy scouts and school children, marched to the memorial grounds (donated by the late E. C. Whitman) where, near the platform, an enclosure was provided with seats for the wives and mothers of the fallen heroes. The Choir and people sang the hymn: 'O God Our Help in Ages Past.' Mrs. Emma Swaine, who lost three sons in the war, performed the unveiling ceremony. 'Last Post' was sounded and the school children sang 'O Canada.' Mayor H. F. Robinson was Chairman, and the following speakers addressed the assembly: Bishop MacDonald, H. A. Rice, M. P. P., S. O. Giffin, M. P. P., Hon. E, M. MacDonald, Minister of National Defence, Colin F. McIsaac, Federal Member for the Constituency, and John A. Morrison, Warden."

Constructed in Oct./Nov., 1937 in memory of the fallen First World War veterans. The First World War Cenotaph at Antigonish is located at the Federal Building Grounds, Main St. It was previously located at the intersection of St. Ninian St. and Main St., West end of town. It was built on the above location in October/November of 1937 and was unveiled on November 11, 1937. The material used in its construction was a North Granite (Antigonish County) sandstone. It is a plain obelisk, 17 feet high, tapering to a pointed cap, designed and completed by F.W. Arsenault. The concrete base was put in and donated by the MacDonald Construction Company, Halifax, N.S. On three sides of the monument are black granite slabs on which the names of the dead were carved by W.T. Dalton, Shelburne. On the North side is an inscription composed by Miss K.M. MacDonald, teacher in England at Morrison High School (1937). The people of Antigonish and surrounding areas donated funds toward the building of the Cenotaph in the town of Antigonish. There is even reference to a committee of Canadian ex-servicemen in greater Boston (as a local paper reads) staging a social evening in Brighton, the proceeds to go to the fund being raised to pay for the war memorial begin erected in Antigonish. "This will give an opportunity for natives of Antigonish Town and County in Metropolitan Boston to help provide a monument to those who lost their lives in the Great War."
