Truro Centennial Pool

The Truro Centennial Pool was a joint project between the Town of Truro and the Province of Nova Scotia to mark the 100th anniversary, in 1975, of the incorporation of the Town of Truro. The first sod was turned on March 1, 1975 and the Truro Centennial Pool opened on March 1, 1976. The Pool was dedicated as a memorial to the friendship and co-operation between the Town of Truro and the Nova Scotia Teachers’ College over a period of 120 years. In 1997, the Nova Scotia Community College took over from the Nova Scotia Teachers’ College. The NSCC and the Town of Truro jointly operate the pool.

From children, to teens, adults, seniors and families, the Truro Centennial Pool offers quality aquatic programs and services to everyone. Staff and volunteers strive to help people learn the importance of water safety and having fun around the water. They also strive to help people achieve their healthy and active lifestyle goals.
