The Juno Beach Centre Association owns and operates the Juno Beach Centre, Canada’s Second World War museum and cultural centre on the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy, France. The Juno Beach Centre (JBC) pays homage to the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives during the War. 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. Today, the JBC stands as Canada’s primary Second World War site of memory in Europe.
