Opened on June 6, 2003, the Juno Beach Centre was born on the initiative of a group of Canadian Second World War veterans, widows and children of veterans keen to perpetuate the memory of the wartime operations that were a credit to Canada and to boost awareness of the role that their country as a whole had played in the conflict. It pays homage to the nearly 45,000 Canadians who died during the Second World War, of which 5,500 lost their lives during the Battle of Normandy and 359 on D-Day.
