In a sunrise ceremony at the Field of Crosses, youth who were killed in the line of duty were honoured Saturday.
Youth day at the Field of Crosses is a part of the powerful Calgary tradition and visual reminder of the lives sacrificed for our country.
Many attending the ceremony remembered the victims of the CFB Wainwright tragedy last month, in which four soldiers died during a training exercise.
Federal Minister of Veterans Affairs Jill McKnight says she's been traveling the country to meet with younger generations and ensure Canada's military history is not forgotten.
"To hear the young voices, to see the young people in the audience, and to know that these are our story tellers going forward, they are going to continue to carry these memories, to keep these stories alive," McKnight said.
