Field of Crosses
There is a park reserved along Calgary’s Memorial Drive for 3,000 white crosses which are displayed each year on November 1st and removed November 12th. The date coincides with the Calgary Poppy Fund’s annual fundraising campaign and the Canadian Legacy Project's Veterans Food Drive. Each cross is inscribed with the name, rank, regiment, date of death and age at death of a Southern Alberta soldier killed in action. It is estimated that more than 3,000 Southern Alberta soldiers have been killed in action Our wish is that no Southern Alberta soldier who paid the ultimate price for our freedom is ever forgotten.
