Your Support Matters

The visual display of crosses, with names and details of Kelowna’s Fallen in the 20th century, represents the cemeteries overseas in which they reside. Public access is during the day from November 2nd to the 12th in Kelowna's City Park.
The Okanagan Military Museum Society, the Kelowna Museums Society, the Rotary Club of Kelowna, the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 26, and like-minded community organizations, volunteers and vendors, collaborate to present the annual Field of Crosses to complement Kelowna’s annual Remembrance and Commemoration traditions in November.
