🇨🇦 November 4 | Canadian Army Day
Today, The Field of Crosses commemorates Canadian Army Day, paying tribute to the brave men and women who served in the Canadian Army and honouring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
From the South African War of 1899 to the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan and more recent NATO and United Nations operations, Canadian soldiers have answered the call to serve with courage, dedication and an unwavering commitment to their country.
During the South African War (1899 to 1902) alone, more than 7,000 Canadians served, including 12 women nurses, with approximately 270 losing their lives. In the conflicts and military operations that followed, more than 100,000 Canadian military personnel made the ultimate sacrifice in foreign wars, leaving behind a legacy of service that continues to shape our nation's history.
Today, The Field of Crosses also pays special tribute to the fallen Japanese Canadian members of the Canadian Army. Among the crosses standing along Memorial Drive, 19 are dedicated to these soldiers, honouring their contributions and sacrifices in service to Canada.
🌅 Sunrise Ceremony: 8:34 AM
🌇 Sunset Ceremony: 6:05 PM
