Our first weekend of cross preparation is underway at the warehouse.
A huge thank you to all of the incredible Field of Crosses volunteers who continue to give their time and effort to help bring this important memorial together each year. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you to the marvelous volunteers who came out recently to help us unload crosses and set up our "Cross Prep" warehouse for the season.
Kudos and huge thanks also to Parts Canada for their generosity in allowing Field of Crosses the use of their warehouse space.
We appreciate and value our volunteers and sponsors immensely - It is only because of their support that we are able to honour the fallen from Southern Alberta each year.

The 1885 Regimental Society of the Calgary Police Service raised funds through the sale of a special commemorative Remembrance Day challenge coin.
The Calgary Police Service has been a dedicated partner of the Field of Crosses since its inception in 2009 and remains steadfast in its support today. We are grateful for their friendship and generosity.

Congratulations to Louise Walker who has been recognized with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, recognizing her exceptional volunteer achievements. As an official Canadian honour, the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers pays tribute to the dedication and exemplary commitment of volunteers for their contribution to our country.
Louise’s commitment to community service began at just nine years old supporting many organizations throughout the years. For the past 18 years, she has been an integral part of the Field of Crosses Operations Committee, helping honour Canada’s veterans and strengthening our community’s tradition of remembrance.
Murray McCann, Founder and Director Emeritus of Field of Crosses, was honoured this past Saturday, August 15, 2026 to present Louise with her insignia on behalf of the Governor General of Canada, Her Excellency, the Right Honourable Louise Arbour.
Please join us in congratulating Louise on receiving this well-deserved prestigious award. All of her Field of Crosses friends appreciate Louise’s huge contribution and valuable support in the Field of Crosses endeavour to encourage Southern Albertans to reflect on the tragedy of war, and on the role that memory and remembrance play in improving our communities and advocating for peace in the future.
