Thank you Brookline friends !! Love having you on the teamBrookline PR is proud to once again support the Field of Crosses Memorial Project, a moving Calgary tradition that honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
From November 1–11, more than 3,700 commemorative crosses will stand in solemn formation along Memorial Drive NW - a powerful tribute to the over 3,600 Southern Albertans who gave their lives for Canada and the 120,000 Canadians recognized with special crosses throughout the park.
Each year, this five-acre field of remembrance comes to life through the dedication of volunteers who prepare, install and maintain every cross with care and respect. Their efforts ensure the site stands as a visible reminder of courage, loss and gratitude during the Eleven Days of Remembrance.
As preparations shifts from the workshop to the field, the Field of Crosses team urgently needs volunteers to help bring this year’s tribute to life. Whether you can assist for a few hours or a few days, your contribution ensures every cross stands tall in time for Remembrance Day.
To join this meaningful community effort, visit www.fieldofcrosses.com/volunteers to sign up for a volunteer shift.
