Last week’s Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Field of Crosses was incredibly moving and we are so grateful to everyone who joined us. Thank you to all of the volunteers, veterans, families, first responders, and community members who helped make the morning, and every ceremony over the Eleven Days of Remembrance, so meaningful.
A huge thank you as well to Global Calgary for broadcasting the ceremony live so those who could not attend in person were still able to take part.
We are sharing this first collection of photos from the ceremony, capturing some of the many powerful moments from the field. There will be another two galleries shared today. Stay tuned!

Earlier today we shared a glimpse of the work that goes into preparing for our Night of Lights in the hours leading up to the ceremony. This evening we are proud to share a new gallery that highlights moments from the ceremony itself.
Some photos show the lanterns that were carefully placed at the base of the 3,620 crosses, ready to shine from sunset until sunrise on Remembrance Day. Others reflect the emotion in the faces of those who attended, the quiet pauses, and the meaningful moments shared throughout the night.

This morning's gallery offers a look behind the scenes as our amazing community and volunteers came together to prepare for the Night of Lights Ceremony on November 10.
Before the lanterns glow across the field, they are carefully lit and placed by the hands of people who carry deep gratitude for the fallen. Each flame represents a life. Each lantern honours a sacrifice that continues to guide us toward remembrance.
Thank you to every participant who joined us in this meaningful preparation. Your time, care, and respect help ensure that every hero is remembered with dignity.
