Past chair of the Calgary Poppy Fund George Bittman and philanthropist Murray McCann brought the Memorial Drive Cross Project to fruition. Thanks to their dedication, a cross with the name of each soldier killed in action from southern Alberta is erected every year in Calgary from November 1 to 12, to remind Canadians of the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
