Juno Beach Centre to receive $500,000 annually The federal govern- ment has made an ongoing commitment to ensure the future of the Juno Beach Centre in France, the scene of D-Day landings by Ca- nadian troops on June 6, 1944. Many people from this area have visited the centre in Normandy which commemorates the land- ings and other significant contributions Canadians made in World War 2. Starting this year the Juno Beach Centre Associ- ation will receive an annual contribution of $500,000 on an ongoing basis from Veterans Affairs Canada to ensure the memories are kept alive. The D-Day landings will be remembered as a turning point in history. On that day, and during days of bit- ter fighting that followed, Canadians made a stand for peace and freedom. The Juno Beach Centres existence is not solely the work of governments of historians it was inspired by, built and is run by the very men and women who were there that day. It is a project of the Juno Beach Centre Association, a group that includes Second World War Veterans who partici- pated in the D-Day landings and subsequent battles in Normandy and Western Europe. This group, using contributions from corpora- tions and from more than 18,000 individual Canadi- ans, has provided a place to learn, reflect and celebrate WW2 accomplishments. In addition to marking a significant event in Ca- nadian history, the Juno Beach Centre is an educa- tional facility for all ages. Exhibits allow young and old to trace Canadas con- tributions to the Second World War.

The Procession began at Churchill Community Church and made its way to Trinity United Church for a service, picking up walkers at Acton churches along the way. Frances Niblock photo To the editor, I just wanted you to know how impressed I was with todays editorial on Easter: A Time For Faith In The Resurrection. It was most refreshing to read something like this in a secular newspaper. I look forward, each week, to getting The New Tanner, especially to read Mike OLearys column. Please keep up the good work at one of the best little papers in the GTA. Happy Easter to you and your staff. Al and Sandra Gaudet. Impressed with Easter editorial Got something to say? Let us hear it with a letter to the editor. Drop it off to us at 373 Queen St. E. or by email to thenewtanner@on.aibn.com
