Caledon Public Library: Celebrating Black History Month with Captain Kevin Junor

January 16 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Caledon Public Library is proud to host Captain Kevin Junor as he leads a presentation followed by a Q&A session about the No 2 Construction Battalion in World War 1.

On 5 July 1916, the Department of Defence and Militia authorized the formation of No. 2 Construction Battalion. It was the largest Black unit in Canadian history. Its members continued the proud tradition of service to king and country that went back to the American Revolution and continued through the War of 1812 and the Rebellions of 1837–38 to the start of the First World War.

Captain Kevin Junor (retired) has a career with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Reserves that spans over three decades. He enrolled as a private and progressed through the ranks to be a chief warrant officer, the most senior non-commissioned rank and was appointed the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM). He is a commissioned officer and was deployed on two operational tours of duties to Sierra Leone and Jordan. Kevin is a retired Deputy Superintendent from the Ministry of the Solicitor General. He is active in the community and has chaired and served on a number of boards, including the Policing Advisory Council of Caledon. His awards include the Order of Military Merit and the Harry Jerome Professional Excellence Award.
