Opening Ceremonies for the Field of Crosses Kelowna 2024
November 3, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Opening Ceremonies for the Field of Crosses Kelowna 2024 will be held at 1:00 pm on Sunday, November 3 at the Kelowna Cenotaph and public visitation will be open daily during regular City Park hours until Wednesday, November 12.
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 and vendors wish to
collaborate to present the annual Field of Crosses to complement Kelowna’s annual Remembrance and
Commemoration traditions in November.
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. The unique interactive educational program, aimed at
middle school students, offers an in-class biographical study package for students to explore the service
of those named on Kelowna’s cenotaph and a tour of the Okanagan Military Museum. Students from
participating schools will visit the Field of Crosses for a guided tour after reviewing information and
artifacts at the Okanagan Military Museum.
The Okanagan Military Museum Society and Kelowna Museums wish to thank the
many volunteers and vendors who work together each year to make this important event possible.
