A very different, smaller crowd gathered at the Field of Crosses Memorial Project Wednesday to mark Remembrance Day 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ceremonies are held twice a day from Nov. 1 until Nov. 10. 

The Calgary Police Service Honour Guard marched in memory of fallen soldiers on Sunday as they donated to the Field of Crosses project.

Mount Royal University is awarding an honorary degree to a Calgarian who started the Field of Crosses Remembrance Day project.

High school students in Airdrie made 152 crosses for Remembrance Day to pay tribute to Canadians killed in Afghanistan.

About 3,400 crosses will be out along Calgary's Memorial Drive from Nov. 1 to 11, honouring southern Albertans who died serving the military.
