“Classroom at the Crosses” 2026
From October 26 to November 11, 2026, Valour Canada and Field of Crosses are collaborating to deliver the 4th annual “Classroom at the Crosses” program. We anticipate welcoming approximately 2,500 students, Cadets, Girl Guides, and Scouts to explore Canadian military history, peacekeeping, and service.
Join us on November 7 for Youth Day at the Field of Crosses! Bring your family and friends to the Valour Canada Military Artifact Handling Tent at the Field of Crosses this weekend!
As you walk among the crosses and pay your respects to those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice, take a moment to stop by our heated tent. Get up close with Canadian military history artifacts, explore pieces of our military heritage, and enjoy a friendly chat with our dedicated team and volunteers.
