This is such a beautiful tribute to our veterans
I have been behind this since day one, the current layout has my name on it. If you have never attended, you should. Take a quiet walk, or show up on any of the days of remembrance. It is by far the most solemn, of Calgary's observances.
❤️ Thank you Global Calgary for creating and sharing this lovely video.
🙌 We are so grateful to have you as a partner and supporter of The Field of Crosses!

❤️The month of November marks a poignant time of remembrance and powerful storytelling. For Brookline’s account executive, Lahia Girbik, November also offered a meaningful opportunity to reconnect to her cadet roots with our client, Field of Crosses.
In the words of Lahia, “taking on projects that fuel your passion and spark inspiration can truly make ‘work’ feel like anything but laborious.” With passion in her heart, Lahia shares how Brookline’s meaningful work with Field of Crosses fueled her creativity and storytelling capabilities.

After Eleven Days of Remembrance at the Field of Crosses our faithful volunteers returned this past weekend to take down the crosses and store them safely away until November 2023.
First we removed the flags, then the poppies and bio cards, then the crosses and finally the bases.
It was a HUGE job done very carefully and full of much respect to the fallen, who we will continue to honour each year.
Thank you to everyone who came out to help and thanks once again to Horton Road Legion for the delicious hot chili !!!
The FOC lead volunteer takedown team are to be commended for all their hard work.

Beautiful ceremony as always thank you. Next year I'll make the trip to come in person again.
Went to the ceremony there when my son was 3. Can still remember it 5.5 years later.
