Thank you to everyone who joined us for this morning’s Sunrise Ceremony in recognition of First Responders Day and our tribute to Animals in War.
As we prepare for this evening’s Sunset Ceremony, we take a moment to look back on yesterday’s Sunrise Ceremony, which commemorated the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day and the Liberation of the Netherlands.

On November 7, we gather for First Responders Day, including a tribute to Animals in War, at The Field of Crosses.
This day honours the courage and sacrifice of Police Officers, Firefighters, and Emergency Medical Technicians who left their civilian roles to serve in the military and gave their lives for their country.
Among those remembered are seven members of the Calgary Police Service, six of whom fell during the First World War and one in the Second World War, four members of the Calgary Fire Department who fell during the First World War, and Corporal Michael Starker of Calgary Emergency Medical Services, who is honoured for his service and sacrifice in Afghanistan.
These individuals represent the strength, dedication, and bravery of First Responders who answered the call to serve both at home and abroad.
Today’s ceremonies also include a special tribute to Animals in War, recognizing their loyalty and contributions throughout history. While no crosses in the Field are dedicated to animals, we honour their role as companions, messengers, protectors, and sources of comfort to those who served. Their courage and companionship remind us that the cost of war was shared by both humans and animals alike.
The Sunrise Ceremony will begin at 7:39 a.m., and the Sunset Ceremony will begin at 4:59 p.m. We invite all guests to arrive ten minutes prior to each ceremony as we gather in reflection and remembrance.
