Juno Beach Centre
About Juno Beach Centre
Canada's only museum on the D-Day landing beaches, located on the actual shore where Canadian forces landed on June 6, 1944. The centre opened in 2003, founded by Canadian veterans and volunteers to honor the 45,000 Canadians who died during World War II. The permanent exhibition covers Canada's civil and military war effort through interactive displays, personal stories, artifacts, and archival footage. From April to October, young Canadian guides lead 45-minute tours through Juno Park to explore preserved Atlantic Wall bunkers, ending on the beach where troops came ashore. The museum is fully air-conditioned with accessible facilities. Hours vary by season: May-August 9:30-19:00, March-April and September-October 9:30-18:00, February and November-December 10:00-17:00. Closed in January. A low-carbon discount is available for visitors arriving by train, bus, or bicycle.
Interesting Facts
On D-Day, 381 Canadian soldiers were killed at Juno Beach, yet the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division advanced further inland than any other Allied force that day, pushing 10 kilometers into France by nightfall.
The museum was entirely funded through private donations, with no government funding. Canadian veterans and their families raised over 6 million dollars through brick-by-brick campaigns, where donors could purchase commemorative bricks that now pave the outdoor memorial areas.
In 2025, the centre recorded its highest visitor count ever with over 107,000 visitors, surpassing previous attendance records as interest in WWII history continues to grow among younger generations.
