FRANCE: Canadians on Juno Beach

Juno Beach is a beautiful peaceful sandy beach in Normandy on the NW coast of France.

But it wasn’t always this peaceful.

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Juno Beach is significant in Canadian history.

It is one of the five main landing beaches of the D-Day invasion during World War II.

On June 6, 1944, Juno Beach was assigned to the Canadian forces in the Allied operation known as Operation Overlord.
