Le Canada a joué un grand rôle dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale lors du Débarquements des Alliés et ce, malgré la crise des années 30 qui a sévit avant. C’est un beau musée.

Les élèves étaient trop intéressés à répondre au questionnaire et du coup, n’ont peut-être pas apris beaucoup de neuf. Sinon, les salles sont bien présentées, bien aménagées et pleins d’objets interactifs et/ou de films intéressants.
C’est sympa, amusant, ça nous apprend beaucoup de choses sur la guerre et les pays qui ont fait la guerre. Même si on n’aime pas l’histoire ça nous intéresse. Un musée en forme de parcours, c’est ludique.

Le passeport dans l’exposition temporaire était une très bonne idée car nous avons pu nous mettre dans la peau d’un individu et connaître un peu plus son quotidien.

Musée très riche de dimensions humaines, clair, précis qui a passionné nos élèves.
I was very impressed with my visit as the tour guide (Allison) was very knowledgeable and was able to explain everything in full detail. I was intrigued by all the fortifications still on the beaches and the artefacts that have been found. The temporary exhibit impressed me with the realistic settings and really showed different parts of a soldier, naval man or airman’s life. It included some equipment showing how it would be used and obstacles and how it would stop them. This answered questions I didn’t know I had. The guide (Allison) was also able to explain the area well and explain how the terrain looked. She included buildings that would have been there and what they were used for.

Overall the Juno Beach Centre is very well put together. The items on display as well as the short movies playing and clips were very interesting. Having a guide tell us facts on the beach tour was well done and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The landing craft replica and introduction video, at the beginning of the visit of the museum, kick-started the mood of the Canadian contributions at Juno Beach and the war.

After visiting Juno Beach, I gained a more realistic impression of the events on D-Day, as well as the Canadians’ contributions. Seeing the beaches and landscapes, as well as the museum over here in France is special and something I won’t forget.

My overall experience at the Juno Beach Centre was really amazing. Our tour guide (Allison) was very informed, friendly and easy to address, which made the outside section of the tour really interesting. The inside of the museum was very impressive and clean! The temporary exhibit was also appealing and informative.

I am very impressed by the Juno Beach Centre. The guide (Allison) provided a knowledgeable beach tour. I have learned more information about the events of D-Day as well as all events of the Second World War. I hope to return with other members of my family to learn more and appreciate all efforts of our military members. Sincere thank you!

I felt the guide (Allison) did a great job of the beach tour. She worked hard to involve the students and added personal touches. While I do appreciate the Centre, I would expect to see more interpretation of the events of D-Day itself as opposed to so much information about Canada. New temporary exhibit: more of this room! I did not see passports until I was leaving exhibit, so did not get a chance to appreciate. History at your Finger Tips educational presentation: Due to time constraints may I suggest numbered roles (ie: N°1 = look after describing objects in box. N°2 = Explain …. If you have 10 roles and only 5 kids the number of roles / student would increase). Great concept – more objects and gloves would be great (not easy).

I thought this visit was fantastic. It was a real eye opener and every area was just as interesting. I learnt a lot more about the Canadians during the War and what a part they played and also how closely they were tied with the UK. I would definitely come back again because there is too much information to take in during one visit.

Well laid out, very informative and the passport system in the temporary exhibit involves all visitors and makes their experience more relatable. It allows visitors to really understand the relationship between the British and the Canadians. Excellent displays to show various scenes (dioramas) that were important to demonstrate what happened on Juno Beach at the landings. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I thought the passports in the temporary exhibit were good but I think there should have just been some bullet points on the main events of their lives. The videos in the museum were fun and enjoyable to watch but I think the exhibit is too small.

Overall a rich and varied experience. We brought 60 tired 11-12 year olds who I thought would struggle to keep focused. But the talk about army kit (History on Wheels educational presentation) was delivered with such enthusiasm and empathy to the age of the group that the boys’ attention was held and the questions flowed. The exhibit was simple and relevant. Overall I can’t praise highly enough!
Mr. Pat Thomas (student)

A very well-thought and well presented museum with good use of different media. An excellent presentation (History on Wheels educational presentation) by the guide (Alex). The introduction film was just the right length. Good idea about passports in the temporary exhibit but a little more guidance with the sequence of the storyline would have been needed. Our boys found it informative and at the right level for their previous knowledge and abilities.

I really enjoyed the visit, and was impressed by all the resources/diagrams. It was interesting to hear the personal memoirs of Canadian soldiers, as well as even the facts and history of the events. Good use of maps, pictures and different ways to explain history. This captivated the attention easily. I enjoyed the passports in the temporary exhibit, especially learning more about Canadians before and after the War (more personal). The dioramas were a really cool and accurate representation and they helped me to realize how they lived at the time. THANKS FOR THE VISIT!

We really enjoyed out visit to the Centre. The authentic artefacts and real-life accounts collected was really helpful in helping picture life at that time.

This visit really increased our appreciation of the efforts of the Canadian forces during WWII.

Very interesting and informative exhibit. Working in groups (History at your Finger Tips workshop) was very cool. More explanations would have been needed for the younger people in the group ...

Manuel K. (student)

The workshop was too much like school. It should be more informative with more explanations from the museum’s guides. On the other hand, the visit of the bunker was very interesting. Inside the museum the information could be shorter. More fun during the group workshop would be an improvement.
Sascha E. (student)

For our group it was very interesting. We got a little idea of how difficult and dangerous it was to land in Normandy. The guided tour was very informative. It is very important to continue telling and showing the history of WWII and D-Day. For us Germans it is impressive and important to live history in such museums as Juno Beach. I personally think there should also be information in German and in as many languages as possible so everybody has the possibility to be part of this history and to keep it alive for future generations.
Very impressive – especially the guide’s (Allison) explanations outside. Helps to imagine together with videos and pictures the situation on Juno beach in 1944. Thanks a lot! The “History at your Finger Tips” educational activity for our kids was probably too specialized, mostly due to their insufficient knowledge of English.
I found the Juno Beach Centre to be very interesting and informative, especially through the individual soldier’s perspectives. The passport system in the temporary exhibit, although a bit confusing at times, a very creative way to instil a personal connection between the soldiers and the audience and was very intriguing. The only concern I can think of relates to the exhibit in the very last room of the museum about contemporary Canada, which I found to be a slightly (and often times badly) disguised form of propaganda for some industries/organizations. It could be improved to provide an equal vision of representation of our Nation. Thank you for a valuable experience.

Wonderful reception. Excellent guide (Jonah). Terrific museum. The temporary exhibit would benefit from foot prints on the floor to guide us to dioramas. Someone standing in front of the two characters (Peter & Madeleine) holding the blue signs can cause mass confusion. Thank you so much!

The Juno Beach Centre is an extremely valuable place for both history teachers and students. Not only is it a valuable resource but it is also a moving and emotional tribute to Canadian soldiers who fought for our freedom.

Reading about Juno Beach is nothing like seeing it physically. In the museum, to see actual tools and passports and everything else they used during the war was very interesting. To enter the recreation of the landing craft and see how tight the chamber was I couldn’t imagine myself being in the same situation.

Thank you for providing a place to learn about the war and to have an opportunity to feel the war. I appreciated most the temporary gallery. Reading the stories of people who experienced the war first hand created many emotions I didn’t expect to feel. I now have a greater understanding of the stories my grandmother told of growing up in the early 1900s.

The museum was incredible, and the passports in the temporary exhibit gave a really in-depth view of what was happening at the time. The information set a scene and an atmosphere. The objects (like the medical kits) show you how much things changed. It was fascinating to find out about the Canadian regiments and the country’s reasons for joining the war. The movie at the beginning (set out as a landing craft) was amazing as you get to see exactly what all those soldiers would have. Overall, we thought that the exhibits and the information were excellent!

I was very impressed generally at the overall presentation of the Juno Beach Centre. I was particularly impressed by the quality of our guide’s (Samuel) knowledge and style of presentation, as well as the sheer volume of interesting and well presented information in both exhibits. I enjoyed reading through the exhibits and was very impressed by the modern style and design, as well as the use of headphones and videos. Overall a very good visit.

Even from the outside the Centre was impressive. The statue outside is very symbolic and modern but without forgetting it is a historical museum. One of the main reasons I think the museum is so worth visiting is the sheer amount of information, on the walls, on the ceiling, through headphones or in videos. The information on the panels is very readable and I don’t think anyone could find the Centre over informative or confusing, nor could anyone find it dull.

This is an excellent museum: the organization of groups is quite superb. The idea of taking a photograph of the group at the start of the visit provides a focus from the beginning. The boys (and staff) used the opportunity to follow individuals’ stories by using the passports in the temporary exhibit. The interactive nature of the exhibit promoted extended understanding of the impact of the war on Canada.

Dans l’histoire, la possibilité pour les enfants de mieux comprendre rendre ce passé et l’essayage des uniformes, casques, etc. Néanmoins, les explications sont parfois un peu superficielles pour un public plus averti, on a l’impression de « survole », de passer à coté de beaucoup de choses. Mais est ce possible de faire mieux ? Pas sûr…

Musée très attractif. Bonne alternance des activités : écoute d’un guide acteur, film qui met dans l’ambiance du lieu de mémoire et visite libre ludique avec beaucoup de choses à toucher, manipuler, écouter. La disposition des salles est bien pensée : ce ne sont pas des rectangles avec des panneaux muraux mais un cercle, un couloir… des découvertes au sol (planisphère) sur les murs, sur les bornes centrales et suspendus. Bravo, lieu de mémoire réussi dans la mesure où il intéresse les adultes et captive aussi le jeune public (8-10 ans).
Je veux dire que c’était super bien. Ce musée m’a appris tout ce qu’il y avait sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Le Centre est bien adapté aux enfants grâce, notamment, aux nombreuses vidéos et au questionnaire pédagogique de qualité. Peut-être qu’une phase d’échanges à la fin de l’animation avec le soldat canadien du Jour J serait à ajouter.
On our way to Juno Beach, I was thinking that there wouldn’t be much to see there or much to do. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the very interesting and interactive museum and the many interesting monuments and artefacts around the Centre. Before coming, I had very little knowledge of the specifics of Canada’s role in the Second World War, but now I feel as tough I have a greater understanding and appreciation for the events that took place during this war. Thanks for the valuable experience!

Excellente visite : Animation (par Jonah) parfaite, juste longue « comme il faut » et interactive. Musée et dossiers pédagogiques très bien faits. Je le recommanderai à mes collègues. Merci beaucoup.
I think that the first room with the big screens could be explained better, but other than that it was very good. I also think the room with the headphones and screens was a bit confusing. I liked the idea of the passports in the temporary exhibit and all the other stuff. Overall it was very good.
Alexandros P. (student)
Dulwich College (United Kingdom)
— June 10, 2010
I think that the passport idea in the temporary exhibit was great ! It really helped me learn more about individual people – like their background in the war. The interactive computer stuff encouraged me to learn. I have learnt many interesting things, but the main was about the passion leadership of lost soldiers. The 300° cinema was interesting, but afterwards there was not much sound to guide me through, so I sometimes got lost with what was happening. I really enjoyed the museum. THANK YOU!
Barney M. & Adam B. (student)
Dulwich College (United Kingdom)
— June 10, 2010
I think it was a very thorough experience as the Centre seemed to fill in every question that you would have wanted to ask. I think the passport idea in the temporary exhibit was a very good exercise as you had a feeling that you were really following the life of a real war veteran. I liked the 300° cinema also because it told what the Canadian soldiers would have been thinking and it gave you a sense that you were really there.

Clearly explained, very ‘hands on’, an effective way to teach young children (10-11 year olds). The "Passport" idea in the temporary exhibit is fun, informative and accessible. In the past, pupils took part in interactive role play with a "D-Day Soldier" – it is a shame this is not automatically included in admission price.

Very impressed with the amount and variety of information and also in the different ways it is presented. The information was accessible to everyone. Although focusing on the Canadian involvement, other aspects of the war were linked into this to give a wider view. Some excellent artefacts very well displayed. Definitely recommended!

Nous sommes tous enchantés de notre viste. Merci pour votre merveilleux accueil, bravo pour l'organisation et pour le côté pédagogique de votre musée qui est vraiment accessible pour les enfants de cet âge. Une expérience à renouveler ! Encore merci donc et à bientôt !
The Centre gave us as individuals the opportunity to empathise with the soldiers and get a feel for life in wartime. We enjoyed the interactive activities, which gave us the opportunity to take learning at our own pace, which meant that the experience was more personal. We were shocked and amazed at what we have seen today, and would like to see the war from the aspects of different countries.

Overall the visit gave me a wider view of WWII from different countries’ perspectives. The information was quite specific about the five beaches and the area around. The main exhibition was enjoyable because of the interactive videos and the listening chambers towards the end. The videos made the information easier to take in, rather than just reading things off the wall.

Musée très intéressant sur un acteur (Canada) méconnu de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les activités proposées (écoute, visionnage, écran tactile) permettent aux élèves de changer de support et de rompre la « monotonie » d’une visite. Le questionnaire pédagogique est très bien fait et permet de découvrir chaque salle en profondeur.
J’ai retenu que le Canada et les Canadiens étaient très impliqués dans cette guerre. J’ai vu aussi l’équipement d’un soldat, qui est très lourd, environ 36kg. Ainsi que les conditions de vie sur le front (bunker).

La visite a été très intéressante, car il est vrai que la partie canadienne du Débarquement est assez méconnue. La visite nous a permis de connaître mieux les conditions de vie et du Débarquement en lui-même d’un point de vue général et plus spécifique au Canada. Des débuts (crise, déclaration de la guerre), à la fin (bilan, conséquences), tout est très bien expliqué.

Le musée est intéressant mais le questionnaire pédagogique est trop long pour une visite d’une heure. Il faudrait deux heures de visite pour le musée qui regorge de données et d’informations. Le questionnaire est trop étoffé et les élèves ne se concentrent que sur les questions. Dommage.

The Juno Beach Centre was both an excellent tribute to our Canadian soldiers, but also provided the needed history to understand the political climate, efforts at home, and importance of the sacrifices made by all.

This was fantastic—really brings the issue of war to heart. It will be hard to forget what sacrifices the men of our country made for our freedom. The soldier of our country made out a blank cheque to Canada payable to and including their lives for our freedom—how lucky we are—this Centre is a dedication to them—we can never repay them and this Centre will allow us never to forget those brave men and women.

This is an absolutely amazing museum. As a Canadian, it is unbelievable to see how the French citizens have honoured our great country.

At first I thought the Centre was plain and a bit boring. The main greeting room for groups doesn’t have much to see. I quickly changed my mind as I toured through the rooms. There was a bit of everything. I was particularly interested in the more personal side of the soldier’s stories; The first aid kit, personal effects, daily ration kit, love letters, etc. I especially enjoyed Jim Bardsley’s sketches at the end. The variety of ways of communicating their stories to us; films, radio, objects, correspondence, etc, was most impressive.

My impression of the overall Juno Beach Centre was that it was informative and very interesting. It expanded your current knowledge about things like propaganda. The use of materials was very good and varied which allowed people to not only hear but view and interact with the material. I found the First Nations temporary exhibit very interesting because my heritage does date back to native tribes. Not only that but it informs the people about the culture of the native tribes.

It was very diverse and I think that there was something for everyone. The audio machines were very cool as well. It was nice to have Canadian guides working at the Centre as well since it can be sometimes difficult to understand someone speaking with a thick accent. The museum is a bit small though I would have liked to see more.

An incredible place to learn about Canada’s contribution to the war efforts. Very visual and informative—it appeals to every learning style and the information is well presented. One suggestion I would make would be to highlight how women and First Nations contributed to the war effort. There is a little bit of information but it could be expanded upon more.

I was impressed with the variety of exhibits, information, and methods of showing/communicating the info and pieces in the Centre. The diversity of information and highlighting not only D-Day, but other Canada’s participation throughout the war in different occupations was excellent. To include portrayals of Canadian life and the country as a whole, both with respect to the war and before/after it, helps people to better understand us as a nation. I feel that both Canadians and non-Canadians alike will learn things here at the Centre, and provide a better understanding, awareness, and appreciation of Canada and its impact.

Hi from Mobile Central High School, Newfoundland. Our students loved their visit and learned so much about Canada's part in the war, especially the events of June 6th, 1944. To realize and appreciate what Canadian soldiers did for us on that fateful day certainly made our students and teachers very proud to be Canadian. They haven't stopped speaking about it since we came home. It was a great day. Thanks so much!

The outside area is unimpressive, the bunker has little to make it interesting, and the beach could use something to make it look more 1944ish. The museum however is terrific.

The Juno Beach Centre is definitely a great facility. The information about the Canadian involvement in the war was both educational and presented in interesting ways. However, I would say that the use of Peter & Madeleine, the two 'mascots' for kids are a bit strange. Mais, à part de ça, c'est un endroit magnifique et je suis fier que c’est Canadien. Merci pour l’expérience.

This was an eye-opening visit. Before this, I did not know the full involvement of Canada in the war. The historical facts, supported by archival videos were very impactful. May this Centre continue to educate future visitors and stand as a testament to Canada’s sacrifice. Remember the fallen.

Very nice tribute to our vets and the fallen Canadians. Our tour guide (Jennifer) was very knowledgeable and I liked that she was from Canada. Thank you for building this Centre to honour our troops. The movie was a bit disjointed I thought, and the door should open a bit quicker after the film… we were all standing around confused for a few minutes.

The Centre demonstrates a devotion to the efforts of Canadian men and women who fought to liberate the world, along with millions of other Allied troops. At home, in history books we learn of various battles and groups, but this museum truly breathes life into the struggle of our grandfather and grandmothers.

A nice memorial. The tour outside was well done. Very interesting as well as the exhibitions inside. The movie at the beginning of the museum’s visit although well done, could have been made a little bit more directly tied into the rest of the exhibit. Perhaps set up as a timeline of sorts?

It was great! The tour guide (Emily) helped to make the tour educational in which the students were able to learn a great deal about Canada’s role during D-Day. The museum was also very informational which helped the students learn more about this important day that should never be forgotten.

I thought my visit to Juno Beach Centre was very interesting and somewhat emotional. I loved how they had videos playing and it was cool that you could listen to the veterans talk about their experiences of when they fought years ago. I really enjoyed seeing the uniforms they wore and tools they used. Outisde, the statues and tetrahedras were amazing and everything seemed so real. I really enjoyed visiting the Juno Beach Centre.

My grandfather fought in the war as a pilot and was captured. He spent 3 years in the German prison camp Stalay Luft and played a role in “The Great Escape”. Coming here was very important to him, myself and my family. After doing the tour and viewing the site, I can say I am filled with pride and respect; respect for my country and a new found respect for my grandfather. I will never forget my trip here.

In our opinion, the Juno Beach Centre was a wonderful portrayal of Canadian history. We’ve definitely absorbed a lot of history, which is both very important and interesting in accordance to our country’s past.

Displays fantastic, very accessible and easy to read, very interesting. The opening film was very touching. It had a great impact, gave a sense of soldiers perspective. It sent shivers down my spine. Fantastic guide (Emily), facts were very clear and made sense. She was very passionate about working at the Centre. Bunker was cool to go inside to actually see how it could have been for the soldiers. It was great to come here after studying the war in class back at home. It made something that seemed so far away real for those of us who didn’t think the war affected us.
Fantastic that we have this memorial. Canada did not experience the horror of the battles on our soil (thank God!). This means that we have no repository for our collective experience – that is thousands of miles from home. We need places to remember, to reflect, and to understand in our very core that war is the failure of diplomacy, but that some things are worth fighting for.

I think that having this historical museum here is an awesome thing. All those men and women went through hell to help their country and this place really interprets the battle that indeed did happen to us in the war. The interactive part in the museum is very cool, and the video at the beginning was awesome. The preserved stuff outside is amazing, and really interests me in our past. Thank you for a great time, and I would recommend it to anyone.

For a person of another country besides Canada, the permanent display would be very effective for enlightening them about Canada’s part in the war. It was interesting for me too!

The visit was good and I enjoyed the tour, but seeing that this is a Centre based on the military, I was disappointed when I saw the temporary exhibit about the First Nations of Canada.

J’ai bien aimé essayer le casque et les uniformes, dessiner et écouter les choses. J’ai beaucoup aimé le cinéma et aussi Jeanne qui nous a raconté son histoire d’infirmière.
J’aime vraiment bien ce musée et je demanderai même à mes parents de venir.
J’ai aimé le film, car à un moment on croit qu’on est en train d’avancer dans la mer et aussi l’histoire de Jeanne l'infirmère qui était trop bien.

Merci aux Canadiens de nous avoir aidés lors du Débarquement. Il y a beaucoup d’objets ayant appartenu aux soldats dans le musée. C’est bien parce qu’on voit bien et c’est intéressant. On pouvait même lire les étiquettes pour comprendre ce que c’était.

Le Centre Juno Beach nous permet de faire un retour dans le temps et de comprendre ce que nos vétérans ont pu vivre. Le musée est très bien aménagé. L’information qui s’y trouve nous amène à comprendre des détails qui ne se trouvent pas dans les cours d’histoire du Canada au secondaire. A mon avis, chaque Canadien devrait venir au moins une fois dans leur vie au Centre Juno Beach pour mieux comprendre l’effort de nos vétérans et aussi pour rendre hommage à ces derniers.

Le Centre Juno Beach m’a démontré à quel point il était important de se remémorer les batailles canadiennes à la guerre. Situé sur la plage de Juno, l’endroit même du Débarquement canadien, le Centre m’a inspiré et m’a fait revivre en quelque sorte les moments cruciaux de la guerre. Notre guide, Amélie, était excellente, dynamique et connaissante du sujet. Finalement, cette visite m’a permis d’apprécier à quel point nos soldats canadiens se sont battus avec courage, détermination, mais surtout avec une fierté d’être canadien.

The Juno Beach Centre is a really nice facility. The statue of the soldiers outside is beautiful and very moving.

The beach tour was extremely meaningful. The Centre has captured many realms of the past centuries with thorough information and artefacts, while maintaining a truly holistic and humble experience for all Canadians. I wish that we could take all grade 10 history students on such a tour, as a field trip, as it is more experimental than any textbook could even capture. Thank you for a touching afternoon – Merci!!

Very well done—a place that every Canadian should visit. However, we felt rushed during the beach tour. We understand that the Centre has a lot of visitors, and some are more interested than others. We had a lot of questions and our guide had to keep us moving according to her schedule. Also, she could have been very helpful in the museum section.

I thought the Juno Beach Centre was excellent. We had an awesome explanation of the architecture of the building as well as the statues, followed by an intriguing presentation inside the centre. I thought the idea of having film of veterans speaking of their experiences was thoughtful as well as touching, and it seemed to me that a lot of work was put in to make this Centre friendly to all ages. It was informative and also heart-wrenching.

As we continue to visit the beaches, the beautiful scenery, I am overwhelmed with the thousands of brave and courageous men, women who had no idea what they were getting into. As I visit centers and get introduced to a few men and their stories it becomes real. When I saw a grave marker that said “Don’t grieve mom I did my job” I am moved to tears for the moms who lost their sons. Thank you, brave courageous men. A mom.

It was a very powerful and meaningful visit. The beach tour with Emily and the museum brought what we had learned in class alive. The impact of being on the beach where Canadian soldiers landed is something I will never forget. Being able to see the bricks my school has purchased was also pleasant and was an added touch. I look forward to sharing these facts and stories with our school and families back in Canada.

To visit any important historical site is always incredible. Our visit to the Juno Beach Centre was especially amazing because of Canada’s contributions in the Second World War at Juno Beach. The guided beach tour was well done; a very good amount of material was covered and we were given the chance to see the site. The introduction film was very powerful as it completely immersed us in the strong of Juno Beach during WWII. The variety of information that was available for the reading afterwards in the museum was a perfect conclusion to our visit to the Juno Beach Centre.

I thought visiting Juno Beach was great, in a solemn way of course. It was good to finally see location that I can identify with myself, because I am Canadian. The beach tour with Amélie was very good and informative and it was nice to see how Canadian soldiers saw it on their landing day. Of course, there is no way to feel exactly as they felt, but visiting the beach and getting the tour was the closest one could get.

C’est un musée très bien fourni en tout type de documents (photos, uniformes, cartes, vidéos…). C’est très riche pour les enfants. Le questionnaire pédagogique est vraiment bien fait.

Good film at start. Excellent setting of context (1930s). Good display of original uniforms. Good description of Canada’s military size before 1939 and its relationship with Britain. Well done themes: conscription, propaganda, rise of fascism, role of women, entire role of war (Italy, etc). Very good reference section for research. Good for students: they were very impressed.

There are hardly any words that can possibly describe the impact of this experience. To be immersed into the events of the war and the Canadian effort is completely overwhelming. Although I’m sure it is impossible to ever fully comprehend what our Canadian soldiers went through. I feel like I have a much better appreciation for it after visiting this Centre. I have truly never been more thankful for what everyone gave up so that we could have our freedom. The number of people who made this sacrifice is overwhelming as shown at this Centre and if I could, I would thank each individual. They gave up more than anyone should ever be asked to and for that I hope they will always be remembered. This Centre does an excellent job at doing this and for that I will never forget. This makes me so proud to be Canadian.

It made things seem a little bit more of a reality than it was. I learned many of these things in history class but when there are pictures of real people staring at you, it’s not just history. For a moment this museum allowed me to be a grieving mother, a widowed wife, an abandoned sister. Thank you.

J’apprécie beaucoup les montages et l’information diffusée qui est claire, concise, précise et facile à interpréter pour des élèves dont la deuxième langue est le français, mais qui vont à l’école en français. Plusieurs de nos élèves ont été touchés. Une élève a écrit une lettre dans le livre souvenir des vétérans. Merci.

The Juno Beach Centre was great! It helped to further our knowledge about WWII. The set up is very helpful where you have to use your hands and get involved to read more (as if there are activities to take part in). This keeps you busy and more interested. There was also an excellent tour and explanations of the beach and monuments outside.

This place is amazing. It was very eye-opening to be able to see some of the artefacts left over from World War II. My favourite thing was the German bunker on the beach in front of the museum, I loved being able to go in parts of it and look around during the guided beach tour.

Great. Some re-creations of the beach defences would be good.

My students were deeply engaged both inside and outside the Centre. Several students stayed on the beach and around the bunker long after our outdoor tour and those inside were able to satisfy their interest regardless of the depth they were seeking. Those with a good amount of prior knowledge were satisfied with the depth of information. Others really felt empathy because of the personal studies.
La vidéo du début est intéressante. Le musée est bien organisé, les choses exposées sont claires.

Accueil très sympathique. [...] J’apprécie la dimension humaine du Centre. On ne s’y perd pas et en même temps les informations sont nombreuses et clairement présentées. Film d’introduction émouvant. Un petit regret : on a quelquefois un peu de mal à entendre les commentaires dans le musée.

Visite très agréable et enrichissante en 2 parties : A) Visite guidée de la plage : beaucoup de froid, mais explications claires et intéressantes des installations nécessaires à la défense. B) Musée : beaucoup d’images et de textes clairs qui permettent de mieux comprendre le rôle de chacun pendant la guerre. ++ pour l’accueil et la guide (Amélie) très sympathique et claire.

It’s great to see some Canadian representation of the D-Day beaches. The Canadian pre-WWII history is a nice touch (especially about Canada becoming more autonomous). I’m glad to have come.

The Juno Beach Center informed me more about the specific events that took place in WWII. A lot of information was given about what it was like, not only to be in the war but also how the people back in Canada had a hard time living. The Juno Beach Centre also gave visual aids which made the war seem more real. I learned more about the war than I would have at school.

Info boards well done, wide range of information (students didn’t read as much as I would have liked). Wonderful displays of photos, artefacts and info. Great sequencing of events. Easy to follow. Lots of choice for listening, interactive activities, more visual and auditory. Very comprehensive. Lots to look at leaves you thinking. Students said this visit was better than the classes they had at school.

Je crois que la visite sensibilise les jeunes sur l’effort du Canada pour la libération de l’Europe et d’ainsi conserver la liberté.
Animation de l'infirmière du Jour J très intéressante mais trop longue et détaillée pour des 7-8ans. [...] Les enfants ont beaucoup aimé les vitrines avec objets. Les objets en exposition permettent de faire un travail sur les objets d’autrefois et d’aujourd’hui = travail sur le temps.

Exposition temporaire bien adaptée à l’âge des enfants de CE1 (7 ans). Sensibilisation à l’écologie (les hommes dans leur environnement dont ils tirent leurs subsistances). Découverte d’une culture inconnue, d’un peuple vivant en accord avec la nature (pas de gaspillage). On comprend bien les échanges entre amérindiens et premiers colons (troc). Expo qui développe de grandes valeurs humanistes.
