No other life experience can compare to walking the battlefields of Normandy or standing in the hauntingly silent cemeteries amongst the soldiers. Nothing has been so meaningful and moving in my years of teaching. I returned home with a renewed sense of appreciation and a deeper understanding which I could share with my students.” Canadian troops landing – Carolynne LeBlanc Kobelsky - 2008 Tour participant at Juno Beach on D-Day Educators from across Canada now have the opportunity to apply to participate in our next professional development program scheduled from August 5th to August 14th, 2012.

    Courseulles-sur-Mer, February 1st, 2020 Maples Leaves and Tulips: 75 Years, Then & Now A exhibition in honour of the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe This exhibition, developed and presented by the Juno Beach Centre in partnership with the Liberation Route Europe Foundation, commemorates the 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe to highlight the major role played by Canadians during the Liberation of the Netherlands in the final nine months of the Second World War. Historical moments are evoked in order to illustrate the strong ties that united the two countries during the terrible winter of 1945. The post war era is also featured, from the many Dutch war brides who followed their Canadian soldier home to a new country, to the first large waves of Dutch immigration to Canada, as well as the many commemorative traditions of the more recent decades. This exhibition demonstrates that Canadian-Dutch friendship, forged in fire, is still very much alive today. The Juno Beach Centre, the Canadian museum on the D-Day landing beaches, commemorates the role played by the Canadians during the Second World War on all fronts, including the campaign of Northeast Europe and the liberation of the Netherlands. At the same time, by showcasing Canada today, the Centre allows visitors the learn more about Canadian values and culture. Liberation Route Europe connects the main European regions along the Allied Forces’ advance in 1944-1945, and presents the multiple historical perspectives to enhance the accessibility and the visitors’ experience and connects them with the challenges faced in Europe today www.liberationroute.com.

    PRESS KIT FROM VIMY TO JUNO In the coming years, Canada will celebrate a number of important anniversaries and significant milestones. 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. That same year, our nation will come together to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. 2019 is 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Normandy landings. To commemorate these important anniversaries, the Juno Beach Centre - Canada’s only education centre and museum on the site of the D-Day landings - has launched a new multi-year national initiative called From Vimy to Juno. Developed with the support of the Department of Canadian Heritage and in partnership with the Vimy Foundation, this bilingual national commemorative program explores the connections between Canadian experiences during the First and Second World Wars, and is anchored by the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917 and the D-Day landings on Juno Beach in 1944. The program is comprised of a national travelling exhibition, an educational website with pedagogical resources, and a series of pan-Canadian special events at museums and cultural centres across the country. THE TRAVELLING EXHIBITION The From Vimy to Juno Travelling Exhibition provides an opportunity for visitors of all ages to learn more about Canada’s role in the First and Second World Wars. It also draws parallels between the two World Wars and examines Canada as a nation from 1914 to 1945. Designed to be modular, the exhibit was developed in a way that allows it to be mounted in a variety of accessible spaces – military museums, community centres, schools, libraries, etc.
