According to the display organizer, George Bittman, each cross represents a soldier from Alberta killed in war time or during peacekeeping duties.
"We're wanting to show the public the number of people from Alberta that made that ultimate sacrifice," says Bittman.
This year, 2,700 crosses are being erected, the most since the project started three years ago.
Each cross bears a soldier's name, age, rank, who they served with and the date they died.
The project is funded by a private citizen, businessman Murray McCann, who never served in the military and volunteers install the crosses.
