We
wanted to understand what the Canadian
soldiers went through when they landed
on Juno Beach. The museum is very well
laid out. It is easy to see the exhibits.
We wanted to see the beach itself.

There
is so much to see and do and learn
here. We could have spent a lot more
time in the museum. The kids seemed
quite impressed. They were awed by
the bunkers and the view from the beach.
Definitely worth the visit, and a group,
from our school, is already planning
to return next year.

It
meant a lot to me to see the history
of my country honored in another. It
shows how our countries are united.
I saw the clothes and weapons men used
and their names honored. I can now
reflect and understand what they went
through for our countries. It is a
great museum full of information.

For
me the experience was very meaningful
from the beginning where we were able
to experience the fear and anxiety
of the soldiers as they landed on the
beach to the end where we were able
to reflect on where Canada is today
and how the contributions of those
brave men and women enabled us to get
there.

It
was an emotional and interesting experience.
It gave me a better understanding of
Canada’s role in the war. I was
able to see the beach, the museum,
and several memorials. Memories that
I will take away with me from this
experience is the images that I saw
in the museum of how the war affected
people and the sounds clips of the
reports made the war seem so much more
real to me. My overall impression is
that it was very well done and effective
in honoring the Canadians who fought
in the war and allowing people to remember
the war and our country’s accomplishments.
