I am so glad to see such a great memorial centre here. It is a pleasure to be a chaperone of 62 students and to see how this affects them. They have learned a lot. The Juno Beach Centre was amazing and I just wish we had more time to read and view more.

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.

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.
