Administrative history
The first meeting of the Truro Young Men's Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.) was held on 17 November 1859 in a school room adjoining the Truro Presbyterian Church. The first president was Dr. A. Forrester, who was also the principal of the Truro Normal College. In the 1860s the originally male-only association was opened to women. In 1873 a lot was purchased and a building was constructed for the association. In 1928 the association went out of business due to lack of support and the building was in desperate need of repairs. The building was then taken over by the national body and from 1940-1945 was used for war-time related activities and in 1947 was demolished. In 1956 the defunct Truro Y.M.C.A inherited thirteen thousand dollars from the estate of Emmaline A. Harrison. In 1979 these funds were turned over to the Colchester Y.M.C.A and the Truro Y.M.C.A was officially dissolved.
