As Canadian Army Day comes to a close, a quiet sense of gratitude settles over The Field of Crosses. Throughout the day, both the sunrise and sunset ceremonies paid tribute to the soldiers who served with honour, courage, and resilience across generations of conflict. Their dedication to our country continues to inspire all who gather here in remembrance.
As we reflect on today’s ceremonies, we also look back on meaningful moments from last evening’s Royal Canadian Navy Day Sunset Ceremony, a reminder of the shared sacrifice and steadfast spirit that unite all who have served beneath the Canadian flag.

On November 5, we gather at sunrise to mark Canadian Army Day at The Field of Crosses, paying tribute to the fallen members of the Canadian Army who served from as early as the South African War through to Afghanistan and other NATO or UN operations.
The Sunrise Ceremony is set to begin at 7:36 a.m., and the Sunset Ceremony at 5:02 p.m. If you plan to attend, we kindly ask that you arrive ten minutes prior to each ceremony.
Over 7,000 Canadians, including 12 women nurses, served in the South African War between 1899 and 1902, with approximately 270 losing their lives. Since that time, more than 100,000 Canadian military personnel have fallen in foreign wars, including the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan, and various NATO and UN missions.
The Field of Crosses also pays tribute to the fallen Japanese members of the Canadian Army, featuring 19 crosses dedicated to their memory, a poignant reminder of their service and sacrifice throughout history.
