Cantare at the Field of Crosses

  • Field of Crosses Calgary 200 Memorial Drive Northwest Calgary, AB, T2N 3C2 Canada (map)

The Field of Crosses Memorial Project is an annual display of white crosses on Memorial Drive in Calgary, Alberta.  The display memorializes soldiers from Southern Alberta who lost their lives fighting for our country.  Over 3000 crosses are placed in the memorial park from November 1 – 11 to signify the ultimate sacrifice so many made fighting for the freedoms we enjoy today.  The project is now entering into its eighth year.

Cantare children's choir has been a long time partner of the Field of Crosses. The children sing at the Remembrance Day ceremony as well as often providing music for sunset services throughout the 10 day period the crosses are standing. We undertake great efforts to teach our choristers about the history and significance of Canada's contribution in war and peace, we wish to make sure the children who perform at the ceremony are entrusted with the responsibility to keep the stories and memories of these soldiers alive forever
