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
