(1)

acquired the Nepisiguit Centennial Library building and immediately created the Nepisiguit Centennial Museum/Cultural Centre, which houses the Heritage Museum, the Nepisiguit Genealogy/Archives, as well as the Multicultural Association of the Chaleur Region. The artifacts, including photos, archives, genealogical documents, and histories of the native aboriginal culture, represent the general life of the people of the region in the early days. There is no precise theme running through the museum, but the past comes alive for many visitors, both local and from away, as they tour.

On June 6, 1944, over 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach during D-Day, and pushed farther inland than almost any Allied force that day. 🇨🇦

They landed under machine gun fire, artillery, mines, and chaos.
Many never made it off the beach.
But the advance never stopped.

Village by village. Street by street.
Canadian troops fought through Normandy with relentless determination, earning respect from allies and enemies alike.

Juno Beach wasn’t just another landing zone.
It became one of the defining moments in Canadian military history.

Their courage helped change the course of World War II — and proved Canada could stand on its own. 🇨🇦

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.

Il y a 82 ans, 14 000 Canadiens ont débarqué à Juno Beach. Beaucoup d’entre eux ne sont jamais rentrés chez eux.

À l’occasion de l’anniversaire du jour J, nous prenons le temps de rendre hommage à ceux qui ont servi et consenti des sacrifices. Nous nous souvenons que nous devons nos droits, nos libertés et notre mode de vie à ceux qui ont répondu à l’appel et qui se sont battus pour les acquérir.
