"History has been a source of inspiration and motivation in short, a passion for me. My experience at the Juno Beach Centre gives me the perfect opportunity to share this passion with the public as a proud Canadian."

"Human history has seen many grand moments but it is also the theatre of more tragic scenes. The Second World War is unquestionably one of these tragedies that changed the world forever. The Juno Beach Centre allows me to open the «black box» of this period of our history in order to commemorate the importance of the role played by Canada."

"I am delighted to have the chance to work at a Juno Beach Centre that commemorates the sacrifice made by Canadians during the Second World War and that allows me to share this history with visitors from all over the world. This makes me very proud to be a Canadian."

"Working at the Juno Beach Centre is an incredible opportunity to share an important part of Canada’s history with visitors from around the world. It is through these exchanges that we can relate experiences and knowledge. I am honoured by this chance to participate in the remembrance of the Canadian effort throughout the Second World War."

"History is both an act of remembrance and an act of projection. By communicating it, we understand where we come from and pave the way that we wish to follow."

"Today, Courseulles is a sea resort where children can play on the beach. In my opinion, this reflects the result of Canada’s participation in the Second World War. The Juno Beach Centre offers an exceptional window to commemorate the sacrifice of the soldiers in the hope that someday, it will no longer be needed."
