This hospital was opened in 1976 to replace the original hospital building following the Second World War (see Memorial #12007-072), as a memorial to the men and women from the local area who served and to those who died. The name, Eastern Memorial Hospital, was retained and transferred to the new building.

The Roll of Honour is on a pre-printed paper form with hand written names and protected with a frame and glass. 23 names of the men from Canso and Hazel Hill who died in the First World War and 24 names of the men from Canso, Hazel Hill, Little Dover, Grassy Island Cove and Cape Canso who died in the Second World War are listed on the scroll.

This building was originally built as a hospital in 1948 as a memorial to the men and women from the local area who served and to those who died. A new hospital was opened in 1976, and the name was transferred to the new hospital. The building is now used as a day care centre.

Stellarton Memorial Rink was built in 1947 as a living memorial to the fallen ones of the First and Second World Wars, and it was first available for children to skate on December 29th, 1947. The original plaque was installed by Kiwanis, and listed the names of those fallen. A new plaque listing the names was unveiled on September 28th, 1997. The plaque is forty feet long, weighs 1,900 pounds, and contains 117 names. Four smaller plaques naming veterans who were decorated during the World Wars will also be hung throughout the rink, as well as a fifth plaque which will outline the history.

This bronze plaque is located on the front of the Stellarton Town Hall, placed in memory of those who lost their lives in the First World War.

In August of 1938, Bill Adams sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia and enlisted in the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment, British Army. He was the second recruit of the Halifax Hundred. Between February 1938 and September 1939, nearly 100 Canadians (mostly from Nova Scotia) were part of a unique recruitment which lead the majority to enlist in the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment. Bill was a friend of Walter O'Hara who was the first Halifax Hundred recruit.

Bill was killed in action on 10 May 1940 in France and Adams Street is named in his honour.
