The Juno Beach Centre is excited to be hiring student guides for the 2025 season which will mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. This is a unique opportunity for bilingual students to engage with visitors from around the world, sharing the rich history of Canada’s contributions during the Second World War.

The Guide Program was born of the wishes of the Veterans who founded the Juno Beach Centre over 20 years ago. These Veterans wished for a group of dynamic and motivated Canadians who are approximately the same age as they were in 1944 to will participate in the educational and cultural missions of the museum.

Successful candidates will lead guided tours of the outdoor park, including historical bunkers and Juno Beach, adapting their presentations to diverse audiences such as school groups, Veterans, and dignitaries. They will grow in their knowledge of Canada in the Second World War and be a part of carrying the torch of remembrance.

Applications for the May 22 – December 31, 2025 work term are due by November 11, 2024. Interested students are encouraged to prepare their applications early, showcasing their bilingual capabilities, and their passion for history, public speaking, and customer engagement.
