COFFEE AT THE CROSSES 

You are invited to - COFFEE AT THE CROSSES – Meet at West end of the Field adjacent to the parking lot located at 200 Memorial Drive NW

• Tours are approximately 20 minutes in duration.
• History tours of the crosses in an intimate setting.  Maximum 15 participants per tour.
• Coffee provided.
• This is a unique opportunity for invited guests to have an intimate tour of the Field of Crosses, especially during a year when attendance at Remembrance Day in-person events will be limited in size due to health restrictions.

For eleven days leading to Remembrance Day, on a five acre park on Memorial Drive, 3,500 crosses stand as silent sentinels reminding Calgarians of the ultimate sacrifice paid by our military to protect the freedom we enjoy in this great country. The Field of Crosses recognizes individually the 3,500 Southern Albertans who paid the ultimate sacrifice but also recognizes that, from all across this great country called Canada, 120,000 heroes gave up their lives for our freedom. 120 special crosses on a knoll in the park recognizes those 120,000.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET 

It is incumbent on all to honour our fallen. Each day that passes we move further away from the wars our country was involved in; the heroes pass, time pushes on and the future gets in the way of the past as we move through our own days and months and years. The Field of Crosses Sunlight and Sunset and Remembrance Day ceremonies are important reminders.
