Since 2005, the Juno Beach Centre has been able to offer Canadian history teachers an annual professional development opportunity to discover the Canadian WWI and WWII historic sites in France. During this week-long tour, the teachers visit Vimy Ridge, Beaumont-Hamel, Dieppe, the Juno Beach Centre, the D-Day landing beaches and various other sites in Normandy. Some highlights of the tour include meeting many locals who lived through D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, enjoying the kind hospitality in Normandy and sharing teaching ideas with other history teachers from across Canada.

The Juno Beach Centre is once again offering this exciting professional development opportunity to Canadian history teachers in the summer of 2009. Click on the link above the photo for 2008 application information. Information for 2009 will be posted soon.
