There's a little bit of Canada right now.
On one level, yes, it's just a building-
Silver modern maple leaf sitting on D-CanadaDay beach.
But it makes no sense to say that our hearts and souls are here.
This is new-
The opening of the Burlington Beach Center is a grand dream of Burlington Garth Webb
Weber, his partner, Liz Cooper, and a group of selfless and dedicated friends have achieved this goal, and some of them have been dedicated for seven years.
It tells the story of father and grandfather.
Mother and grandmother
That generation of Canadians gave up their private lives, gave up their six-year career, and worked to end Hitler's brutal horror of the conquered European people.
There is a large bronze statue in front of Juno Beach center called Memorial and update.
Like the center, the statue is modern.
It shows five helmeted-
Some of the characters around the world are soldiers and some are angels.
They hung over the tourists like the spiritual messengers from above, and were united forever --
The symbol of unity of purpose felt by Canadian World War II veterans, a community --
The spirit that seems often lacking in modern life.
This central sculpture provides a place for Canadians to stand and think about the distinguished generation of World War II.
Most people, even those who survived the war, have now disappeared from the Earth.
This bitterness is full of flowers and becomes almost unbearable even a few meters away from the sculpture.
Because here stands the wall, the wall has the name of the loved ones of the people who fought in the war. [

Thanks to the acquisition of Juno Beach Center, these are all names engraved for future generationsa-brick campaign.
Canadians across the country spent $250 to buy a brick for their military father, perhaps an uncle who never came home.
Most of the bricks were bought in memory of a dead relative.
These walls have been the most popular places in the center for the past three days, and people have gathered to try to discover the precious names they commemorate, trying to take it down and take it home.
When someone finally finds a beloved name and realizes that as long as these walls stand, dad's name will appear here and all will see it.
It's time to enter the center of Juno Beach.
That room looks like a D-
Landing Boat.
You stand in the dark, nothing but the gray metal walls --
Give you the easiest glimpse and see the boys who don't see anything until those doors open and then the world becomes hell for them.
"Those who are not veterans will never understand what our veterans have gone through, but that's the best we can do," said Barry's guide Edward Ross . ". To put the D-
From the point of view of landing on the same day, Ross pointed out that nearly 400 before 1944, schoolchildren learned that the most powerful fleet ever belonged to Spain's 1500 s.

Not as a conqueror, but as a liberator.
The center tells the history of Canada and the world.
An old set of clocks and radios recorded the life of Canada in the 1930 s.
The video shows children playing in frozen ponds, people building barns, and will soon be replaced by war.
The center reminds us that Prime Minister Wilfried Laurier has declared that the 20 th century belongs to Canada.
Ross said: "It's not that it's our century to rule the world," but to show the world who we are and what we are made, I think we have done this over and over again.
There are recruitment posters on the wall.
One person urged: "Support the combat forces, capture the mental outlook of the time, and why a boy cannot return to civilian life --
Why can't his mother stop her son when all her sons are going to fight.
British Prime Minister Churchill, King George VI and King McKenzie gave recorded speeches here.
All important activities are included.
Diep, the air war, a long and dirty battle in Italy.
Finally, we came to a sad place.
There were some family photos of boys who never came home, a clippings about a local boy missing, and some terrible telegrams sent to their parents.
On top of the head, the names of every dead Canadian roll on the electronic board.
When we stand there, it takes only a few minutes to get all the boys named Anderson.
There are more than 43,000 names on it.
"Try to wrap your thoughts around this," Ross proposed . ".
For Burlington architect Brian Chamberlain, the center is a twoand-a-

He was a little frustrated to help him understand the difference.
"It took us six months to get the building permit," he said . ".

Class signature building
"This is from the board of directors at Juno Beach Center, starting from day one, including Weber, Cooper and her son Don Cooper.
All the tourists are from Burlington, so the Juno Beach Center now rising on the far Norman coast is largely a local story.
Chamberlain is also the architect of the Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum.
He himself is a former air force officer and is still flying around North America.
Perhaps the most important thing is that he is a veteran's child and his heart is in this dream.
He said: "I hope the Juno Beach center is unique, so when people see it, they will be attracted and their curiosity will be aroused and come here from the town of Courseulles.
"The center is located on the peninsula, so people have to cross the bridge to get there.
Finally, Chamberlain was pleased with the opportunity in this location.
Forcing people to approach it on a little bit of water, keeping people on the distant June of 1944, when Canadian boys approached the beach from the English Channel, they were dying.
Chamberlain also hopes to see the center on ships sailing through the English Channel.
It's on the beach, but it's blocked by the sand dunes, so the whole 10,000-square-
The walking center has been lifted to give it a more powerful presence on this beautiful but terrible beach.
He also pointed out that although the center is indeed a maple leaf, it is also a pentagon.
But no contact with the United States. S. , though.
It's a Pentagon because it's basically a maple leaf.
He said: "It is very stylized like a maple leaf.
"I like the dynamic shape of the windmill. I played it.
Normandy is a windy place and I try to catch it too.
Then, it reminds me of the propeller on the plane or on the ship, so for all these reasons I highlight the quality of the windmill.
Chamberlain designed the country square in Burlington, a traditional concept and a modern one.
"I'm not the kind of person who thinks tradition is the best or modern," he said . ".
"There are good examples of both, and there are some examples of both.
