A Second World War Veteran of the D-Day Normandy Campaign, Mr. Webb realized with great determination and remarkable ingenuity, his ultimate dream to establish a memorial and interpretation centre that would pay a fitting homage to the Canadian effort on June 6, 1944, at Juno Beach. Mr. Webb led a group known as the Juno Beach Association that raised the $10 million necessary to build the Centre. He spent years relentlessly raising money for the monument, ultimately securing money from the Government of France, the Government of Canada, provincial governments, schools, businesses and from the Wal-Mart chain in Canada, giving a tremendous boost of $5 million to the project, and a further $2 million toward publicity. Mr. Webb's tenacity, persistence and hard work resulted with the building of the Juno Beach Centre ' a lasting testimony for present and future generations to the courage and steadfast determination of Canada's Veterans during the Second World War.
