Default “Maple Leaves and Tulips: 75 Years, Then & Now”

“In honour of the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe the Juno Beach Centre presents the temporary exhibit “Maple Leaves and Tulips: 75 Years, Then & Now”.

This exhibition, developed and presented by the Juno Beach Centre in partnership with the Liberation Route Europe Foundation, commemorates the 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe to highlight the major role played by Canadians during the Liberation of the Netherlands in the final nine months of the Second World War. Historical moments are evoked in order to illustrate the strong ties that united the two countries during the terrible winter of 1945.

The post war era is also featured, from the many Dutch war brides who followed their Canadian soldier home to a new country, to the first large waves of Dutch immigration to Canada, as well as the many commemorative traditions of the more recent decades.

This exhibition demonstrates that Canadian-Dutch friendship, forged in fire, is still very much alive today.

DUE TO MUSEUM CLOSURE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE HAVE REPRODUCED MAPLE LEAVES AND TULIPS AS AN ONLINE EXPOSITION.”
