I just noticed it today, it's a couple blocks west of center street. A few hundred crosses with names on them, lined up in the typical "Flanders Field" alignment.
I haven't driven Memorial in a couple weeks, but I'm sure I would have noticed it had it been there before. It also looks kinda temporary because there's temporary fencing around it. Seems like the kind of thing that would be a shame to deconstruct. Of course, it also seems like the kiind of thing some punk vandals or some anti-war lunatic would vandalize.

I'm not sure if what's there right now is permanent or not, but they are building a Calgary Soldiers Memorial:
