Well organised. Did not really find the temporary exhibit about the First Nations relevant. The permanent displays were interesting and flowed well. My favourite part was reading about the people who received a Victoria Cross.

— 13 novembre 2009
Overall, I found the use of different media to convey information very effective. This appealed to everyone, as we could choose to read the information, listen to it, or even get hands-on experience. In the exhibits, the artefacts also helped give a visual representation of what life was like then. The introduction movie was innovative by using six screens to give an all around view of the experience of that time. The repeating sounds and views appealed to the senses and helped retain information and get maximum impact from the film. Overall, the Juno Beach Centre is a great place! I found I was able to truly picture that day, 65 years ago, and everything leading up to it and occurring afterwards. Thank you.

The museum is very informative. I liked it very much. I liked how the museum covered all the different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic) in the exhibits. I like how each room follows a different time period. I also like how in the glass cases there is not just military stuff but other interesting objects like old Francs. I enjoyed the additional information on the computers near the end. I thought it was very touching how we could listen to letters from loved ones in the war. […] I really liked the temporary exhibit “Voices of the First Peoples of Canada”; the part about the Métis was very interesting and the most informative. I give this museum a 9.5/10.

Découvertes par nos enfants du Canada que ce soit sa situation géographique, sa population, sa participation à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est vrai que nos enfants pensent que seul les Anglais et les Américains ont participés à la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

I really enjoyed looking around the actual Centre and I especially enjoyed the temporary exhibit about the Canadians in Italy. I was also amazed at how successful the Air Force training was.

I had a great time. Our guide (Annika) gave an extremely good tour outside. I thought that the explanations and the facts given were extremely good. It was really fun going into the observation bunker. The Centre itself was really, really good with the Italy temporary exhibit being amazing. The introduction film gave a realistic idea of the life of a soldier in D-Day landing and WWII. The other part of the permanent exhibit with real items was a true insight into the truth of WWII and the things Canada did in it. The videos were a great thing as interviews with veterans tell a lot. Finally the audio and videos made a great end to an amazing visit of a more than wonderful Centre.
Finn Campbell (élève)

The Juno Beach Centre was really interesting and I learnt a lot about Canadian soldiers and the Second World War. It was really interesting seeing the bunker and how close the bunker used to be to the beach. The other thing that I enjoyed was looking at the photograph that our guide (Annika) showed us as the guns the Germans placed nearby. I had a really great day and our guide was really nice.

Bravo pour l’animation scolaire. Très bien fait, beaucoup de documents, animation très pédagogique. Bravo aussi pour le film d'introduction au musée!
The film was an unusual way to begin the visit and I am not sure it had the desired effect. I feel something more informative would be better. However, I feel the museum was highly informative with regard to the proceedings of the Second World War, in particular the role played by the Canadians was much greater than I realised. I felt the vast numbers of exhibits on display highly enhanced the experience, as did the interactive features.

Did not realise extent of Canadian effort during the war other than D-Day Landings. Juno Beach Centre provided valuable insight into this subject. Introduction film setup is very effective and may benefit from more use with a longer film. Museum exhibits in the main rooms are very interesting and valuable. I especially enjoyed the examples of 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion uniforms.

The Juno Beach Centre is an important part of a week long educational trip by members of ULAS. We visit regularly and have subscribed to the continuation of the Centre. We found the visit most informative and it put into perspective the massive contribution the people of Canada made during WW2. The guide (Grant) set the scene with a confident and 'from the heart' brief tour which we found to be at the right level for our students. Thank you for an informative visit.

Wow ! What a fantastic museum ! This was a great experience for both the adult teachers and the boys ! Our students enjoyed the "History on Wheels" presentation (with our guide Ian) at the end in particular. The fact that they could touch bits and pieces of the Canadian soldier’s uniform was very exciting for them ! We all enjoyed the documentary films on life as a trainee pilot, the War Effort, life in Aldershot Baracades, etc.… Furthermore, it was wonderful to learn more about Canada in general !

Amazing is the only way to describe my experience here. As soon as I walked in the doors I already felt closer to home. The exhibits and the introductory film were exquisite in detail. The atmosphere created made the words on the walls come alive with the history inscribed in the text books that I have studied over the years of my schooling. A true testament to the Canadian sacrifices of the Second World War.

We liked our visit and the memorials are filled with many deaths of Canadian people. We didn’t realise how many there was.
We found the introduction film interesting and how we felt when we were watching it. It’s very clever. When we entered the museum after the film, we liked the activities and the layout. We especially liked the map on the floor. Although the museum was quite small, there was a lot of facts and interesting things! We enjoyed our stay. THANK YOU!
The gift shop was great and good for value!
Our guide, Grant, was very good and made everything clear. We learned a lot from him during the beach tour like:
- A bunker takes a couple of months to build
- What the statue in front means
- How to block off invaders on the beaches
- What the stone statue (Inuksuk) is for

My overall impression of the Juno Beach Centre is firstly the artefacts are absolutely amazing, especially the objects found on the war site. Also, the introduction movie was interesting, if a bit vague. It was nice to see actual French people participating in the exhibits and learning about history that is not their own. It was all in all an interesting and very informative trip.

The Juno Beach Centre is a great historical landmark to visit. With all of the German defence systems, to the great guides, showing you what it would have been like to be on the battlefields. Inside all the exhibits are very realistic, there are some actual artefacts with some real equipment still in good condition. The film with the introduction was amazing! It was one of the most realistic war-like videos I’d ever seen! Overall my visit to the Juno Beach Centre was great and I’d love to go again another day!

I really enjoyed visiting the Juno Beach Centre. My favourite bit was visiting the German bunker because it really brought D-Day back to life. I found it especially interesting as the 65th anniversary of D-Day was coming up. I also found the D-Day nurse presentation very interesting. I really liked how we could handle objects from the war. The only thing I could recommend would be to have more comparisons from World War II equipment and modern day equipment.

We were impressed by our guide who passed on his considerable historical knowledge with great clarity and enthusiasm to our Year Five (9-10 years old) pupils. The children enjoyed exploring inside the bunker. Great museum for children of this age because of the hands on approach. We loved the educational D-Day soldier persentation, talented guide and the chance to handle World War II artefacts. A fitting memorial to all those who gave so much in taking Juno Beach.

La visite était bien. Dommage que le temps était mauvais. Le guide (Matthew) était sympa, bonne ambiance, chaleureux, souriant. Le musée était attractif, culturel.
Le musée est très accueillant, il est bien dommage que le soleil n’était pas au rendez-vous. Le guide (Matthew) était gentil, souriant.

It is a very modern museum, with endless artefacts and interactive media that let you make your experience your own. A lot of it is really well put-together. Some of the displays use really simple language and explain obvious things, like who was fighting who in the war. I think that anyone that comes here already probably knows that the Allies were fighting against Hitler’s Germany. Overall though, very well done and greatly interesting. I really enjoyed the radio room, with all the old radios playing old tapes. That was cool, it really takes you back in time.

It was nice to actually see a real war memorial in person rather than just the picture. To see the place where some Canadians have lost their lives protecting us and others allows us to see the bigger picture. The museum allowed us to see this and gives the information I wanted to know about the area.

Very interesting. I liked seeing the bunker. I learned a lot - it would be very educational to people from other countries and makes us as Canadians very proud.
It’s a very good museum to represent the effort Canada put into the war. It really aids in the understanding of our contribution and makes me especially proud to be Canadian. Merci!

I believe the Centre is very fitting and properly commemorates the sacrifice the Canadian soldiers made. I liked how some of the original defences were left intact, but how the place has also moved on from the past and is a nice place for people to visit now. As for the museum, I enjoyed the displays. (I wish I would have taken a bit more time to read them.) As well, the introduction movie was good but a little bit confusing. All in all, a most enjoyable experience.

My overall impression was that this memorial will help preserve our history and help show mistakes that were made. Hopefully by preserving our Canadian past, we can remember the sacrifice of a few for the better of many. Everyone has to remember our Canadian pasts. If we forget our pasts, we will make the same mistakes again. "Lest we forget".

The proximity of the town and the beautiful, sunny day distracted from imagining the action of June 6th, 1944. However, the imaginative architecture and displays in the Centre encouraged comprehension of that day.
One quibble about the film room with the landing craft was that the film, although exhilarating, could have ended with more film or photos of the beach front.
Dale Scott (professeur)
Holy Cross High School (Saskatchewan, Canada)
— 14 avril 2009
Interesting place. The first two rooms of the museum are great. I do hope that over time the Centre will be able to focus entirely on Juno Beach, D-Day or CDN activities in the area of Normandy. The last room, although interesting, seems out of place as it promotes Canada - seems to detract from the D-Day sacrifices. [...] Great presentation from our tour guide Annika. Thank you.

I thought that the Juno Beach Centre was a great and thoughtful place towards the Canadians' efforts. It is a wonderful place and wonderful that even across the world people can learn about a small piece of Canada's history, and the world's history. The Centre is an elaborate place full of history and something that should be shared with others. Everyone should come!

Seeing the place and being on the beach brings a connection with the reality of the past. In the Italian Campaign temporary exhibit, the recreated scene of the house to house fighting was great, certainly superior to just reading about it. The Centre is an important recognition of Canada’s part in the struggle - important for both Canadians and the French. The short introduction movie was different which makes it special.

Upon immediate arrival we were greeted by a well-educated, spoken and informed guide (Annika) who gave an excellent overview of the area’s history and of the Centre. This was followed by a very interesting and informative video, and a creative exhibit featuring neat displays of information and photos. The memorabilia and shadow boxes gave a completely different feel. This was an appreciated portion of the visit. The combination of modern media along with older artefacts aided in the comprehension of the time. Generally the visit was very educating, very interesting and all around enjoyable. Thank you!

Our guide Annika's opening comments about the Juno Beach Centre and the importance of Canadians remembering the great accomplishments of the brave soldiers fighting for our country set our tour in motion. This Centre allows us to keep that memory alive throughout the generations of people who are lucky enough to benefit from the freedoms of the brave.
Our students have taken great pride in being able to research a Canadian soldier from the war to honour at the Bény-sur-Mer cemetery. We will leave a cross and Canadian flag as well as do a rubbing of the gravestone. We all feel great pride in doing this project.
As a school we have been able to raise enough money to purchase 4 commemorative bricks which again we feel is such ah honour to those who have fought so bravely.

A visit to France would be an incomplete experience for our students if we did not visit this most significant memorial to the Canadian war efforts. It is truly a humbling experience to be able to view the location and to see the artefacts that are available here at the museum.
Having visited this location on a previous tour, we know that many of our student have remarked that their visit to the Juno Beach Centre was the most significant and meaningful part of their tour of France. The students are really impressed with the quality of the artefacts, the technology used, the knowledge and enthusiasm of the tour guides, and most of all, gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the Canadian sacrifice, not just during WWII, but throughout the entire war effort. We are very pleased to have such a world-class facility highlighting Canadian war efforts, and believe that this facility provides an excellent educational opportunity for all visitors. C’est un musée extraordinaire. Merci beaucoup!

Our Juno Beach Centre tour guide was an excellent, informative speaker. The architecture was interesting, and I loved the fact that it was symbolic of the maple leaf. The monuments were interesting even before the tour guide explained them, but after she talked about them, they really meant something to me. The introduction video we watched was super intense, and everyone in the room was so into it! It was awesome! I’m really proud to be Canadian, and this museum just reinforced that for me. Thanks!

I enjoyed visiting the Juno Beach Centre because it was very informative. I was very proud to know Canadians had created it and for Canada to have fought in the war. It was also the first museum I’ve gone to in France that had both English and French plaques explaining the exhibits. The way the introduction video was shown was very different and effective for expressing the actual thoughts and feelings of people in Canada during war. Everything was well presented. It was definitely an unusual experience to go in the bunker.

I was very impressed with the Juno Beach Centre, and particularly with our guide's (Annika) presentation and command of D-Day history. The museum provides an excellent context for Canada’s involvement in WWII, and the magnitude of our country’s sacrifice. From its design - both architectural and aesthetic, it makes Canadians proud.

The Juno Beach Centre was a wonderful opportunity for our students. The museum provides a large variety of mediums to effectively convey information relative to it’s involvement in WWII, as well as its growth as a nation.

Positive. Clear guide. Short film (a little too short?) at the beginning of the permanent display.
It was a very good tour and it was cool to learn about because my grandfather landed here on D-Day. It is a beautiful Centre and the video at the beginning was an amazing way to start the visit! Thanks!

I am very pleased with my visit. I was surprised to see how much war material you had here, including the uniforms and helmets. The war journals and medical supplies that I saw were also very interesting. I wish I would have had more time to look through the museum because there are so many things to look at. I enjoyed watching the videos of interviews of the various war veterans as they make the experience more personal and meaningful.

Je pense que cette visite est très importante puis qu’elle nous permet de voir les sites de guerre. Etre sur Juno Beach nous rappelle que beaucoup d’individus ont perdu leurs vies pour le bien-être de notre monde d’aujourd’hui et du futur. C’est important que ce Centre soit là.

Overall, I thought that the Juno Beach Centre was very informative and interesting. My favourite part was being able to listen to the different audio stations, especially those from the point of view of soldiers, because I could learn many things without having to concentrate too hard. I also liked all the visuals, likes pictures and movies, because it gives a realistic sense of what life was like back then, and what sorts of things soldiers had to endure.

I think it’s wonderful that we have this Centre built here to honour those who helped in the war. It gives Canadians a sense of pride to see their country represented here. Canada is well-represented in this Centre. There are many artefacts to see; the museum appeals to many senses - sight, touch, hearing, and gives people a lot to learn, take in, and reflect upon. It’s obvious that a lot of thought was put into the design of this museum and the way it presents everything. Well done!

Nous avons apprécié la chronologie de l’exposition. Bonne mise en perspective au début. Contenu accessible. Bien de terminer avec les témoignages d’anciens combattants. Une visite des plages avec un contenu plus substantiel aurait pu améliorer l’expérience.
I was very impressed by the overall way(s) in which the information was presented. It was done with much variety while still being clear, and not difficult to understand. However, while I fully understand the importance of the information being presented, I have to admit that it was a little overwhelming. I don’t believe that any information should be removed (I learned quite a few things that I didn’t know before), but I do believe that it could have been more concise.

An excellent educational interactive Centre. My students had the chance to see firsthand where the Canadian soldiers landed and can imagine much more vividly what they faced upon landing. The Juno Beach Centre brings to life the pages of the history book they read.
Deb Verhart (professeur)

Our overall impression of the Juno Beach Centre was a very realistic interpretation of the Second World War, binded with fascinating and enthralling anecdotes. We are very proud to have such a great landmark on pivotal soil.

C’est impressionnant surtout parce que j’ai pu revoir cet endroit à travers les yeux de mes élèves anglophones et ceux des élèves français à la fois, la complicité qui développe entre eux, et l’effet du lieu. This is sacred ground for Canadians which I am glad we got to share with French people - adults and young people.

It was very interesting, maybe because today is a good day with lots of sunshine. I really liked the bunker: that was realistic and fun. Also the flags were good. The Canadian flag was in the middle emphasizing the importance of the Canadians. It was educational and fun. I also liked the presentations of our History boxes because we students participated and were having fun.
Jonathan K. (élève)

The guides were very moving and the explanations were very thorough. I enjoyed preparing the presentations about our History box and exploring the objects from WWII taught me a lot.

C’est une visite qui nous apprend beaucoup de choses sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale. On remarque que nous (la France) étions beaucoup aidés par ces Alliés. L’activité sur les boîtes historiques est vraiment intéressante car c’est rare que nous pouvions toucher des objets et vêtements de cette époque. Le musée est bien fait pour nous car il y a des activités interactives sur télévisions ou ordinateurs tactiles, ainsi que les activités audio. Le musée est aussi intéressant à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur. La visite guidée de la plage et dans le bunker m’a beaucoup plu. Super visite.

My overall impression was that this was a great representation of the sacrifices made by the Canadians and that it shows the adversity and courage we have as a nation. The artefacts and memoirs provided an even more moving and appealing aspect to our history. Looking around truly made me feel proud to say that this is part of my heritage and culture. The blood shed reflects the constant feelings of courage in the times we are struggling. Our multicultural society makes us truly unique.

The museum gave us a first hand understanding of what it would have been like to be a Canadian soldier during the Second World War. I found it extremely rewarding as I now have a greater appreciation for the war efforts. The videos were interesting and the visual displays made it seem realistic.

I loved this bit of Canada in France. The staff were very friendly and approachable. The temporary exhibit was very touching and the main exhibit was very effective in making me feel in the 1940s. Without the Juno Beach Centre, facts about Juno Beach and our WW2 struggle would be lost. This museum greatly enriched my visit to Normandy. Merci!

I thought that the Centre was very informative in not only the military aspect but also the very lives of the soldiers. It made it easy for me to understand and imagine what D-Day, the days before D-Day and the days after might have been like. Although some of the people I read about had brief information, the information presented was effective and kept its importance in relation to D-Day. The layout and presentation of the museum was wonderful because there was a mix of various methods of sharing the events. Thank you so much for the creation of this Centre, it is greatly appreciated and effective for keeping history in remembrance.

Après avoir visité pendant de nombreuses années le Musée de la Paix à Caen, je découvre avec l’étonnement et curiosité ce « nouveau » musée. J’avais un peu l’appréhension qu’il fasse double info avec celui du Caen. Hors, c’est une nouvelle page d’histoire que je découvre, l’histoire d’un pays d’un point de vue sociologique, politique, géographique, etc. Tout y est jusqu’au sacrifie des soldats canadiens à Dieppe, épisode peu connu des français car c’est un ardent échec d’un point de vue comptable - mais les leçons de cet épisode ont certainement permis aux Alliés de sauver de nombreuses vies lors du Débarquement de juin 1944. Canada terre d’accueil, France pays « cousin ».

From my personal experience at the Juno Beach Centre, I believe myself, along with my classmates and teachers, had a very humbling experience. Our group came away with a better understanding of what went on here during D-Day. In the past we have heard stories, seen movies, but being here in person definitely expanded our understanding of Canada’s role in WW2. This has been a great experience and I look forward to being able to visit again in the future.
