Juno Beach Centre is Canada’s Second World War museum and cultural centre in Normandy, France. The museum pays homage to the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives during the Battle of Normandy and 381 on D-Day. Opened in 2003 by veterans and volunteers with a vision to create a permanent memorial to all Canadians who served during the Second World War, the centre’s mandate is to preserve this legacy for future generations through education and remembrance.
