The ORGANIZATION

The Juno Beach Centre Association (JBCA) is the Canadian-based charity that owns and operates the Juno Beach Centre (JBC), Canada’s Second World War museum and cultural centre in Normandy, France. The JBC is located on the beaches of the Normandy Landings in France, where Allied Forces began the liberation of Europe from Nazi rule on June 6th, 1944. The core purpose of the Association includes:

Provide a tangible and fitting memorial to Canada’s participation in the Second World War and recognize the emergence of Canada on the world scene.
Remembering and commemorating the sacrifices made by all Canadians who were part of the Allied victory in all theatres of war and at home during the Second World War.
Educating adults and children of today and future generations about the role of Canada and Canadians in preserving the freedoms we are privileged to enjoy today.

The JBCA supports the JBC in new exhibition development. In 2024, the museum will re-launch Room G: “Faces of Canada Today” as the crown jewel of our concurrent Sustainable Development and Expansion initiative. It was initially designed in the early 2000s and no longer properly reflects contemporary Canada two decades later.
