An advisory panel has found leaders in Canada's military have failed to address discrimination and systemic racism. Their report was recently released along with 13 proposals to remove barriers and change the culture in the Canadian Armed Forces. There's a long tradition of military service by Black Nova Scotians.

The Centre's Executive Director, Russell Grosse says a significant event is happening later this summer to address historical injustices, and give proper credit to the only Black Battalion in Canada's Military history.
