Author & Historian: “The Black Battalion 1916-1920: Canada's Best Kept Military Secret”</p> <p>The following report has been compiled and co-written by Mr. Russell Grosse, Executive Director of the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, and Lieutenant Colonel Barry Pitcher, Canadian Armed Forces, Community Engagement Lead. Both Mr. Grosse and LCol Pitcher served as leadership and coordinators of the important efforts associated with the Government of Canada’s intent to apologize to the descendants and families of No. 2 Construction Battalionn (No. 2 Construction Bn). These duties included guiding a steering committee, co-chairing the National Apology Advisory Committee, facilitating national public consultations with descendants and engaging stakeholders. This process was wholly guided by the passion and knowledge of the members from coast to coast who volunteered their time to be part of the National Apology Advisory Committee (NAAC).</p> <p>Through the combined resources of the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia and the Canadian Armed Forces, the process of engagement began in the summer of 2021. Over the last year, hundreds of descendants and individuals interested in the legacy of these brave men have offered valuable feedback. This has been reinforced through local and national awareness events and a series of virtual national consultation sessions. The information gathered has been powerful and has afforded the privilege to learn more about these men via inspiring stories from descendants. The partnership of our community and members of the Canadian Armed Forces should stand as a true example of a positive synergy toward culture change.</p> <p>All levels of Government leadership have demonstrated their commitment to this interactive process to include the Government of Canada, the Province of Nova Scotia, the Town of Pictou and the Town of Truro. Collectively, they all proudly stand with us as a diverse community united by a single cause. We are very grateful to those members of the Canadian Armed Forces and our National Apology Advisory Committee for their dedication to moving us towards an apology that is hoped to be meaningful and sincere. This apology must affirm the fact to the men of No. 2 Construction Bn from Canada and abroad that indeed, “We See Them – We Honour Them”.</p> <p>The true soul of this report is based on meaningful feedback and discussions held through interactive, public conversations, community events, online surveys and email correspondence. It is hoped that the key recommendations made here will shape the path forward for the Government of Canada to deliver a meaningful and impactful apology on July 9, 2022. This report is crafted to be presented to the Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Minister Anita Anand, and is not for public distribution. This report shall be treated as a rare glimpse of the pride and passion that the brave Men of No. 2. demonstrated, and will serve as a unique medium to convey their coveted legacy.</p> <h2 id="history">History of No. 2 Construction Bn</h2> <p>In August 1914, tens of thousands of men across Canada rushed to their local recruiting offices to enlist and fight in the First World War. Many Black men who attempted to join found out very quickly they also had to fight the spectre of anti-Black racism. Some men were told that “this is a white man’s war” and others that “we’ll send for you when we need you.” Throughout this appalling first contact with the military, Black Canadians were repeatedly told that many White men would simply not wish to serve alongside Black men in battle.</p> <p>Over a two-year period, Black men who had attempted to enlist and Black community leaders who did not support anti-Black racism, wrote letters to the Canadian Government and Governor General of Canada. Some military officials also challenged the racist recruiting practices and proposed options to the military chain of command. Many of these attempts were in vain. By 1916 however, there was an urgent need for increased troop contributions to include military labour units. In April 1916, Canada agreed to a request from Britain to form one or two labour battalions and it was then decided that, based on public pressure at the time, one would be a Black labour battalion.</p> <p>No. 2 Construction Bn was officially authorized as a military unit on July 5, 1916. Recruiting began in the Maritimes on July 19, and later during July, the Battalion became one of the few units that was allowed to recruit across the country. (See Appendix A: Soldier List). The men of No. 2 Construction Bn trained in the use of tools, tactics and equipment in large open camp areas in the Towns of Pictou and Truro, Nova Scotia. In December of 1916, the Battalion was advised to prepare for service overseas as their services were urgently needed. In late January of 1917, while it was mounting a large recruiting campaign to get the Battalion up to strength, No. 2 Construction Bn sent 250 men to New Brunswick to remove railway tracks that were urgently needed for military operations in Belgium and France.</p> <p>On March 28, 1917, No. 2 Construction Bn finally sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia on the SS Southland, and arrived in Liverpool, England on April 7. Because the Battalion had sailed with only 595 of the 1,049 officers and men required for full Battalion strength, the British War Office would not allow them to go to France. The Battalion was then reorganized as a labour company of 500 officers and men with the rest of the personnel remaining in England to serve as labour reinforcements.</p> <p>On May 17, 1917, the newly renamed ‘No. 2 Canadian Construction Company’ was sent to support Canadian Forestry Corps operations in the Jura Mountains of southeast France near the Swiss border. On arrival at camp, they began intensively supporting logging operations immediately. This included operating and maintaining the water system that supplied all the camps, maintaining the roads and helping build a logging railroad. They were also involved in timber operations, helping cut the trees, hauling and then helping process them in the mills and eventually, transporting the sawn lumber to the railway station.</p> <p>Lumber cut by the men of No. 2 Construction Company proved an essential requirement in the trenches and along the front lines in France. It was used for revetting the sides of trenches, duckboards for the bottom of trenches and across muddy terrain, artillery gun platforms, railway ties, ammunition boxes, accommodation huts and many more uses. Lumber from the Jura region was even used to build French fighter aircraft. The work of No. 2 Construction Company allowed the mills in Jura to produce twice as much lumber as Forestry Companies without their support. Such was the testament of their determination.</p> <p>No. 2 Construction Company also supported other Canadian Forestry Corps operations. In November 1917, 50 men were sent to No. 37 Company at Péronne, France. Another 180 men went to No. 1 District at Alençon at the end of December 1917, where they performed similar work as in the Jura Mountains.</p> <p>With the Armistice signed on November 11, 1918, lumber was no longer required for the war effort. No. 2 Construction Company and other Canadian Forestry Corps companies were soon sent back to England in early December 1918. Most of the men from No. 2 Construction Company then sailed for Halifax by mid-January 1919 and were dispersed back to the provinces from which they were originally recruited. The majority were discharged by the end of February 1919; and No. 2 Construction Company as a unit was officially disbanded on September 20, 1920, along with the dissolution of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.</p> <p>The brave men of No. 2 Construction Company showed the pride and dedication of Black Canadians during the First World War. They wanted to serve their country overseas in the face of blatant anti- Black racism on the home front. In serving, they played an essential role in Canada’s war effort. No. 2 Construction Cpmpany remains the largest all-Black unit created in the history of Canada and was demonstrative of the voices from all Black communities across this great country.</p> <h2 id="recognition">Recognition</h2> <p>No. 2 Construction Bn was first commemorated at the provincial legislature in Toronto, Ontario, in July 1920 and there again September 1926. For decades, the story of No. 2 Construction Bn was a largely unknown part of Canadian history, until the curiosity of the late Senator Calvin Ruck was peaked after seeing a No. 2 Construction Bn hat badge in his travels. This launched a journey of research in the early 1980s that led to him learning more about the remarkable Battalion and their contributions. In tandem with Ruck’s research was the research being done by the son of No. 2 Construction Bn soldier William Gale in Montreal. Gale passed away in 1991 but not before he correctly identified almost 800 soldiers who had served in No. 2 Construction Bn and his research is still being built upon today.</p> <p>On November 12, 1982, Senator Ruck and the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia hosted a recognition and reunion banquet at the Lord Nelson Hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the surviving No. 2 Construction Bn veterans of the First World War. Senator Ruck was so moved from the experiences shared from this event that he then went on to write The Black Battalion 1916–1920: Canada’s Best-Kept Military Secret (1986). This book details the story of No. 2 Construction Bn and profiles its veterans with very personal and moving stories. It is considered the cornerstone of the lasting legacy of No. 2 Construction Bn and remains in print today with several revised editions having been released.</p> <p>Years later in the 1990s, the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, along with Senator Ruck, made a compelling public case for official recognition of No. 2 Construction Bn. In 1993, this journey led to the official construction of a National Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada monument in Pictou, Nova Scotia, on the shores of the town’s waterfront, highlighting the historic location where the Battalion was formed on July 5, 1916.</p> <p>This National recognition has also led to the development of an annual service of honour and remembrance that is held each July in Pictou, Nova Scotia. This momentum of the legacy by Senator Ruck continued as he would go on to become the Executive Director of the Black Cultural Centre. Over the past twenty-nine years, the Town of Pictou has since welcomed descendants, military, police, Legion and members of the Black Community to hold the ceremony there.</p> <p>In addition to Senator Ruck, Captain (retd) George Borden was also a steadfast champion of No. 2 Construction Bn. Captain Borden, a native of the historic African Nova Scotian community of New Glasgow, had a strong family legacy connected to the Battalion. In the early years, he too would serve as the Executive Director of the Black Cultural Centre. Upon his retirement in 1993, he became a long-time committee member of the annual service of honour and remembrance until his passing in 2020. Capt. Borden was very instrumental in ensuring that the legacy of No. 2 Construction Bn be remembered, and it was he who carried the momentum torch following Senator Ruck’s passing in 2004. Captain Borden was perhaps most famously known for penning the poem, “Black Soldier’s Lament”, which has been since published in both Canadian and U.S. textbooks and tells the story of No. 2 Construction Bn. Many films and stage productions have cited this very poem in the years since as it so accurately conveys the raw emotions felt by the men of No. 2 Construction Bn.</p> <p><strong>Black Soldiers’ Lament</strong><br> By Capt. (retd) George Borden</p> <p>The bugle called and forth we went</p> <p>To serve the crown our backs far bent,</p> <p>And build what ere that must be done;</p> <p>But ne’re to fire an angry gun</p> <p>No heroes we no nay not one.</p> <p>With deep lament we did our job</p> <p>Despite the shame our manhood robbed.</p> <p>We built and fixed and fixed again,</p> <p>To prove our worth as proud black men</p> <p>And hasten sure the Kaiser’s end.</p> <p>From Scotia port to Seaford Square</p> <p>Across to France the conflict there,</p> <p>At Ville La Joux and Place Peronne</p> <p>For God and King to right the wrong –</p> <p>The number two six hundred strong.</p> <p>Stripped to the waist and sweated chest</p> <p>Mid-day’s reprieve much needed rest.</p> <p>We dug and hauled and lifted high</p> <p>From trenches deep toward the sky –</p> <p>Non-fighting troops and yet we die.</p> <p>The peace restored the battle won</p> <p>Black sweat and toil had beat the Hun.</p> <p>Black blood was spilled black bodies maimed</p> <p>For medals brave no black was named,</p> <p>Yet proud were we our pride unshamed.</p> <p>But time will bring forth other wars,</p> <p>Then give to us more daring chores</p> <p>That we might prove our courage strong</p> <p>Preserve the right repel the wrong,</p> <p>And proud we’ll sing the battle song.</p> <p>Other recognition for No. 2 Construction Bn in recent years include the first scholarly work completed on No. 2 Construction Bn in a thesis completed by Sean F. Foyn (2000), the short film Honour Before Glory (2001), written and produced by Reverend William “Andrew” White’s great nephew Anthony Sherwood. This film was met with huge acclaim for its raw portrayal of the struggles faced by the young men of No. 2 Construction Bn. In addition, as a result of a formal suggestion by descendant Robert D Downey to the Chairperson of the Canada Post Stamp Advisory Committee in 2014, an official Canada Post Black History Series stamp was issued by Canada Post on 1 February 2016 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Black Battalion. During the 100th year remembrance of No. 2 Construction Bn (2016), a host of events and programs took place to commemorate their contributions including 100th anniversary of No. 2 Construction Battalion travelling exhibit created by Legacy Voices which included medals of three No. 2 soldiers and was showcased at The Canadian War Museum for Remembrance Day, a commissioned print by the Army Museum – Halifax Citadel and numerous exhibits and displays shown across Canada. The legacy of No. 2 Construction Battalion was carried forward with significant contributions from key subject matter experts and descendants, to include key members of the National Apology Advisory Committee; Douglas Ruck, Kathy Grant, John Boileau, Robert Downey, Craig Smith, Anthony Sherwood, Sean Foyn, Sheila White and Mathis Joost to name a few.</p> <p>Other noteworthy recognition events:</p> <ul> <li>Parks Canada Hometown Heroes Panel on the Waterfront Boardwalk, Halifax, NS</li> <li>Parks Canada / Army Museum Halifax Citadel Event on 5 July 2016 (ie Unveiling of various No. 2 Construction Bn related Home Town Heroes Plaques along with the commissioned No. 2 Construction Bn Art Print)</li> <li> Canadian Legion Magazine July/August 2016 Edition (cover page photo and feature article “Canada’s First Black Battalion”)</li> </ul> <h2 id="process">Chronology of Apology Process</h2> <p>On January 8, 2019, former Nova Scotia MP, Gordon Earle, penned a letter to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, sharing the published letter he discovered in the Halifax Chronicle Herald from December 8, 2018, written by Captain (retd.) George Borden. This letter was instrumental in that it requested an official apology from the Government of Canada for the racism, hurt and pain endured by the men of No. 2 Construction Bn.</p> <p>In response to that letter, the then Minister of National Defence, Honourable Harjit Sajjan, along with Mr. Russell Grosse of the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, organized a roundtable discussion with government officials, Mr. Gordon Earle, Captain George Borden (retd.), Pastor Brian Johnston, Mr. Douglas Ruck, descendants of No. 2 Construction Bn, members of No. 2 Construction Bn Marker Committee and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Defence, Anita Vandenbeld. This meeting took place on February 29, 2020, at the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia. The key resolution of this historic meeting was that it was agreed that the descendants should, in fact, receive a formal apology for the manner in which the men of No. 2 Construction Bn were treated all those years ago.</p> <p>On Sunday, March 28, 2021, 104 years after No. 2 Construction Bn deployed overseas, the Canadian Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, announced that Canada would apologize for the treatment that these brave men faced. This intent was issued virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions and broadcasted live from the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia with a small in-person audience of military, community and descendants present. This was conveyed as an apology that would address the racism and discrimination they endured before, during and long after their service to Canada. The apology was announced to come after meaningful consultation with their descendants and members of the Black community was complete.</p> <p>On May 14, 2021, the Chief of the Defence Staff Directive for No. 2 Construction Bn was subsequently issued, authorizing the Canadian Army to immediately engage in outreach and begin preparing for an apology ceremony. 5th Division, an Atlantic Canadian Army formation known as the ‘Mighty Maroon Machine’ was chosen to lead this initiative. 5th Division immediately set about partnering with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia for this unique initiative. After very initial consultations with key leaders in the Black Community, many of whom would later become the steering committee, this budding partnership began planning a way forward. Based on these discussions, the team very quickly ascertained that to do this special task justice, a special advisory panel was needed. The formation of a National Apology Advisory Committee (NAAC) began and included 22 members from across Canada, who are descendants or subject matter experts on the Battalion. The NAAC had a mandate to advise and assist in the national public virtual consultations and provide recommendations to the Minister of National Defence through this report.</p> <p>In total, the NAAC led seven Canada-wide consultations to inform the apology and related momentum building events. These consultations were held in December 2021, and February, March, April and May 2022. Break-out sessions were a part of these consultations with sub-groups provided direction from select NAAC members. In addition, several smaller group one-on-one consultations were also completed with living direct descendants of No. 2 Construction Bn by co-chairs Mr. Russell Grosse and LCol Barry Pitcher.</p> <p>On March 28, 2022, a similar affirmation of intent to apologize was again made virtually, hosted at the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia by the new Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Anita Anand. At this most recent event, Minister Anand formally announced that the chosen location, based on community and NAAC consultations, would be at the former No. 2 Construction Bn training grounds in Truro, Nova Scotia and the date officially chosen as July 9. 2022.</p> <p>In addition, several stakeholders and partners supported the important legacy of No. 2 Construction Bn through various external projects such as the Library and Archives Canada work to complete the digitization of No. 2 Construction Bn records by May 2022, the commitment by Parks Canada to refresh the National Historic Monument in Pictou and the Province of Nova Scotia and Black Cultural Centre planned launch of a new permanent exhibit on No. 2 Construction Bn.</p> <p>In conjunction with these consultations and NAAC meetings, the 5th Division/Black Cultural Centre team has worked together in developing a new website for No. 2 Construction Bn in which descendants can register for July 9, 2022, and the key events, such as a No. 2 Construction Bn graves registry, can be shared worldwide.</p> <p>Thus far, over 1,000 people have participated in these public consultations and a total of 400 descendants of No. 2 Construction Bn members have since been identified.</p> <h2 id="advisory">National Apology Advisory Committee (NAAC)</h2> <p>As a part of this process, a twenty-two member National Apology Advisory Committee (NAAC) was established in June 2021 as a consulting arm to the Government of Canada in the shaping of the upcoming official apology. The NAAC members were chosen based on connection and dedication to No. 2 Construction Bn. They were comprised of community leaders, historians, descendants, and authors. Individual members of the NAAC were very accomplished in their own right and would offer a balanced advisory layer to the formulation of the planned apology. The NAAC was co-chaired in partnership by Mr. Grosse and LCol Pitcher.</p> <p>The mandate for the NAAC was designed to provide meaningful input in the form of:</p> <ul> <li>Advising as to appropriate historical information about No. 2 Construction Bn.</li> <li>Organizing and facilitating satellite and momentum activities.</li> <li>Facilitating important discussions with descendants, community members and stakeholders throughout the country, and where descendants exist.</li> <li>Facilitating the identification of descendants.</li> </ul> <p>The NAAC held regular meetings each month in which key topics were discussed via agendas prepared in advance and tackled key issues such as framework of the apology, planning for the event, historical accuracies, and perpetuation. Terms of Reference (see Appendix C: NAAC Terms of Reference) developed, and voting selected as the main instrument of passing a motion. Within the NAAC, various sub committees also completed many key tasks such as media releases and organization of momentum building events across Canada. These sub committees included:</p> <ol> <li>History and Public Education</li> <li>Logistics</li> <li>Communications and Community Engagement</li> <li>Atlantic Region (P.E.I., N.S., N.L., N.B.)</li> <li>Central Region (N.W.T., Que., Ont.)</li> <li>Western Region (B.C., N.W.T., Man., Atla., Sask., Yukon)</li> </ol> <p>In addition, the NAAC was instrumental in facilitating and guiding many of the public consultation sessions that occurred virtually across Canada. Key NAAC members along with members of the 5 Division team would integrate within the break-out sessions to help guide and answer any questions community members and descendants had.</p> <p>The culmination of the NAACs work was to gather salient recommendations from input gathered via consultations on the composition of the apology and how the event can be best executed. This will be captured in this, the final Minister of National Defence Report.</p> <h2 id="principles">Apology Principles</h2> <p>The members of the NAAC approved a guiding set of principles developed by the Subcommittee on Communications and Community Engagement to guide the public consultation process. It was influenced by stakeholders and historical precedents that have been demonstrated in past apologies in Canadian history.</p> <h3>Principles for the Apology to the Descendants of the Members of No. 2 Construction Bn</h3> <p>The apology must:</p> <ul> <li>Be preceded by representative and meaningful consultations with descendants, communities and subject matter experts.</li> <li>Be delivered by the Prime Minister of Canada.</li> <li>Describe what happened and explain how this experience exemplified Canada's forms of anti-Black racism.</li> <li>Describe the harm caused to the men seeking to serve, those who served, their families and descendants, as well as Canada’s reputation.</li> <li>Acknowledge wrongdoing and take responsibility for it (“own” the mistake).</li> <li>Be candid and honest.</li> <li>Express genuine empathy, regret, and remorse (say “sorry”) for the racist behaviours.</li> <li>Ask for forgiveness.</li> <li>Establish substantive and sustainable policy/program responses that make amends and/or provide redress.</li> <li>Commit to measurable and sustainable change.</li> <li>Promise similar acts will never happen again and that the government will learn from its mistakes.</li> </ul> <h2 id="metrics">Key Metrics & Summary of Public Consultations</h2> <p>During the period from October 2021 to May 2022 there were various public engagement sessions conducted both virtually and in-person (dependent on public health measures at the time). These sessions were conducted through meetings, conversations, email and written correspondence. An online survey was conducted for each session and various metrics were gathered as a result. Through these various forms of consultation, there was engagement with over 1,200 people of which approximately 400 have since self-identified as descendants and 10 as direct/immediate descendants (sons and daughters). Through this unique process, all responses were tracked and feedback gathered to aid in the development of the recommendations of this report. During the national virtual engagement sessions, key questions were utilized to encourage and stimulate discussion, at which point virtual breakout rooms facilitated by NAAC members fleshed out responses. Key data gathered is illustrated below.</p> <h3>Key Data</h3> <p><strong>1. Country of participants engaged in consultations:</strong></p> <p>Canada: 94%<br> United States: 5.5%<br> International: 0.05%</p> <p><strong>2. Participant province:</strong></p> <p>Nova Scotia: 39%<br> Ontario: 26%<br> Alberta: 8%<br> British Columbia: 5%<br> New Brunswick: 5%<br> Saskatchewan: 3%<br> Other Provinces: 14%</p> <p><strong>3. Virtual Session Metrics</strong></p> <ul> <li>Total of seven sessions</li> <li>Total of 1,110 people registered for virtual sessions</li> <li>24% of people attended more than one session</li> <li>Over 500 additional people registered with interest</li> </ul> <p><strong>Key Questions</strong></p> <p><strong>1. Why is the legacy of No. 2 Construction Bn so important and why are you a part of this process?</strong></p> <p><strong>Key responses:</strong></p> <ul> <li>A desire to effect real change</li> <li>Family connection and source of pride</li> <li>To hold Government accountable for past actions</li> <li>They were never recognized when they came home</li> <li>An important part of Canadian History to remember and now be a part of</li> <li>An important legacy that cannot be forgotten and the need to act is now</li> <li>Recognition of Black Canadian contributions is important and this a step forward</li> </ul> <p><strong>2. On Sunday, March 28th, 2021, 104 years after No. 2 Construction Bn deployed overseas, the Canadian Minister of National Defence, the Honorable Harjit S.

This has both enabled and empowered members of the NAAC who are in a unique position to now pave a path forward to an apology recommendation to the Minister of National Defence. In many of the after-action reviews from the public consultations, three key themes emerged foundational to a proposed apology narrative.</p> <p>From a macro level, it is important to highlight these key themes as follows:</p> <ol> <li><em>Remembrance</em><br> It was clearly communicated by descendants and community that the act of remembrance be prevalent. This can be demonstrated through a firm commitment to education and awareness of No. 2 Construction Bn history through all available means to ensuring that the unit is recognized as an important part of Canada's History.</li> <li><em>Reconciliation</em><br> It was clearly communicated by descendants and community that the act of reconciliation be prevalent. This can be demonstrated by ensuring that a meaningful apology recognizes past hurt and is then followed with meaningful actions that encourage diversity and inclusion and assurances that mechanisms will in place to combat racism going forward.</li> <li><em>Perpetuation</em><br> It was clearly communicated by descendants and community that the act of perpetuation be prevalent. This can be demonstrated by a direct linkage of No. 2 Construction Bn with a current Canadian Military unit so that their sacrifice and legacy are represented by soldiers of today and that there is a commitment to engagement, monuments, and annual parade/commemoration activities.</li> </ol> <h2 id="recommendations">Key Recommendations</h2> <p>Supporting and filling in around these three key themes on a micro level, are a number of key recommendations as to the framework of a meaningful apology on behalf of the Government of Canada. While these are not all the recommendations brought forth, these represent the majority and accurately capture the results of the aforementioned data and metrics.</p> <ol> <li>That a heartfelt and meaningful apology be delivered by the Prime Minister of Canada. This will be vital as precedence has been set in past Government of Canada apologies that have been delivered by the Prime Minister.</li> <li>That the Minister of National Defence be instrumental in the apology process and ensuring that processes are in place to address the past hurts going forward. This will be the active commitment to culture change with Canada’s Armed Forces.</li> <li>That a national public event surrounds the Apology that pays tribute and honour to No. 2 Construction Bn and provides meaningful remembrance.</li> <li>That it include a commitment to ongoing substantive and sustainable policy/program responses that address anti-Black racism within the Canadian Armed Forces.</li> <li>That it includes establishment of and support to a long-term legacy fund that creates ongoing opportunities for education, remembrance and honouring of No. 2 Construction Bn.</li> <li>That it be accompanied with a memento to descendants and families of No. 2 Construction Bn.</li> <li>That the apology process be only the start of future discussions on No. 2 Construction Bn and all Black serving members (past and present) who have faced anti-Black racism.</li> <li>That the apology is followed up with establishment of a Minister’s Advisory Committee on Anti-Black Racism to advise the Minister of National Defence and senior Canadian Armed Forces leadership on a concise path forward to embrace culture change.</li> </ol> <h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2> <p>Since March 28, 2021, the planning team and members of the National Apology Advisory Committee have actively engaged with over a thousand descendants and citizens across Canada. Through navigating a series of virtual public consultations, telephone, written and electronic correspondence, this report provides a true glimpse of passion, pride, and honour. The narrative here is testament to the hurt, sorrow and pain felt from the families and descendants and the true lack of acknowledgment that transpired. No. 2 Construction Bn has been robbed of the important role they played in Canadian history and the time has come to reconcile that.</p> <p>As outlined here, the main goal of this report has been to determine the framework of a meaningful apology to the families and descendants of No. 2 Construction Bn. We have shown that the core engagement which started at the February 2020 roundtable discussion has now evolved into a comprehensive recommendation for a proposed framework. It is appreciated that not all the recommendations and themes may fit into the official Government of Canada Apology on 9 July 2022. It is also recognized that only so much can be stated in a singular time and space. Make no mistake though, that the importance of the words spoken that day will resound forever so the greatest of care must be taken in the execution of delivery. It is critical that the information contained herein be heavily weighted. The considerations and information provided in this raw and honest report are testament to ‘ground truth’ and if not all taken into account on 9 July 2022 must certainly be the fuel for future culture change in the Canadian Armed Forces. The value of the descendants, the community, and the National Apology Advisory Committee as the key mechanisms for this engagement process has been immeasurable and we are most thankful for the opportunity.</p> <p>"We must open the doors and we must see to it they remain open, so that others can pass through. - Rosemary Brown, OC – Canadian Politician & Civil Rights Leader</p> </div> <div
