Since 2005, the Juno Beach Centre has been able to offer Canadian educators an annual professional development opportunity to discover the Canadian WWI and WWII historic sites in France. During this week-long tour, the participants 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 locals who lived through D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, enjoying the kind hospitality in Normandy, and sharing teaching ideas with colleagues from across Canada.

The Juno Beach Centre is once again offering this exciting professional development opportunity to Canadian educators in the summer of 2009. Click on the link above the photo for 2009 application information.
