Juno Beach Centre Saved! | Centre Juno Beach sauvé !

This announcement came earlier today, but is welcome news.
In March 2022, the Juno Beach Centre publicly announced that its long-term viability was being threatened by a proposed condominium development on the land next to the museum. Today, we are happy to announce that a settlement has been reached between the JBC and the French developer. No condos will be built adjacent to the Juno Beach Centre.

With Canadian Thanksgiving coming this weekend, it is only appropriate that we express our deep gratitude to the Government of Canada, the town of Courseulles-sur-Mer, the French Government, the Région Normandie, the Départment du Calvados, and the Intercommunalité Cœur de Nacre for making this settlement possible.

Thanks most of all to you – the public – for your unwavering support. Your consideration, advocacy and assistance have saved the Juno Beach Centre.

En mars 2022, le Centre Juno Beach a annoncé publiquement que sa viabilité à long terme était menacée par un projet de développement d’immeubles sur le terrain à côté du musée. Nous sommes heureux d’annoncer qu’un accord a été conclu entre la CJB et le promoteur français. Le projet de développement d’immeubles à côté du CJB ne se poursuivra pas. 

À l’approche de jour d’action de grâce canadienne ce week-end, nous voudrions exprimer notre profonde gratitude au Gouvernement du Canada, à la ville de Courseulles-sur-Mer, au Gouvernement de la France, à la Région Normandie, au Département du Calavdos et à l’Intercommunalité Cœur de Nacre pour avoir rendu cet accord possible.

Merci surtout à vous – le public – pour votre soutien indéfectible. Votre considération, votre plaidoyer et votre aide ont sauvé le Centre Juno Beach.
