Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children lost to the residential school system, the Survivors, and the families and communities forever impacted.
We will also take this opportunity to recognize and pay tribute to the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Veterans who served Canada with courage, despite facing discrimination throughout their service and beyond.
As we celebrate their strength and contributions, we must also acknowledge the painful history and ongoing impacts endured by Indigenous peoples. We remain committed to remembering their stories, ensuring their service is recognized, and continuing the journey toward reconciliation.

A heartfelt thank you to all our incredible volunteers who joined us for more cross prep this past weekend!
Your commitment and energy helped us finish the cross cleaning ahead of schedule this year!
Because of you, each of the 3,600+ crosses is prepared for this November's Eleven Days of Remembrance on Memorial Drive. We couldn’t be more grateful for your support.

As we prepare for our Eleven Days of Remembrance, we at the Field of Crosses find ourselves reflecting on the immense sacrifices made by countless brave men and women in defense of our freedom. The past generosity of Calgarians has been invaluable in helping us honour these heroes, and today, we are reaching out to you to underscore the importance of your support.
The Field of Crosses project, which transforms Calgary’s Memorial Drive into a stunning visual tribute each November, stands as a powerful reminder of the cost of our liberty. Each cross represents a fallen military member—a life cut short in the pursuit of peace and a family forever changed. The sight of these crosses instills a deep sense of gratitude and reflection in all who witness them, making it an essential part of our community’s commemoration efforts.
From November 1 to November 11, the Field of Crosses will again honour the men and women from Southern Alberta who answered the call to serve and gave their lives for democracy around the world. As a registered charitable organization (#74426 0084 RR0001), community donations directly support the installation and maintenance of more than 3,620 crosses, and the organization of poignant ceremonies and educational programs that engage younger generations in understanding the significance of Remembrance Day.
You can support this initiative by “Adopting a Cross” for $100.00, making a personal contribution in any amount, or simply taking the time to visit with your family and friends during these eleven days in November. By contributing to the Field of Crosses, you ensure that the memories of our fallen heroes remain alive, their stories are told, and their sacrifices are never forgotten.
You can provide your support online at www.FieldofCrosses.com, or by mailing a cheque payable to Field of Crosses at 84 Edgeland Rise NW, Calgary, Alberta, T3A 4E1.
