150th Anniversary Celebration

Niagara College – the Aurora Armoury is excited to be commemorating a historical milestone as The Armoury celebrates 150 years in Aurora. Built in 1874 as a drill shed for the 12th Battalion of Infantry or York Rangers, the building is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building. The Town of Aurora purchased the Armoury from the federal government in 2014 with the intention of restoring the property and returning it to its role as a community gathering space.

Now, operated as an event space by Niagara College since March 2020, we are home to many local corporate and social milestones and celebrations from networking, team building, seminars to anniversaries, weddings, and many of life’s milestone celebrations. We take great pride in being home to Aurora’s best kept secret located in the heart of historic Town Park.

We look forward to welcoming residents in joining us on Saturday September 7 from 8am-2pm to learn about The Armories history, present and future. Come meet your neighbors, connect with our team, and enjoy light refreshments and dive into the rich local history that is the Aurora Armoury.
