Canada buys land in France's Juno Beach due to condo plan- PublishedCanada will help buy a plot of land in France that was once stormed by allied troops on D-Day during World War Two.The purchase ends a three-year battle with a French developer that planned to construct two condominium buildings in the area.France's Juno Beach is home to the privately-owned Juno Beach Centre, a 20-year-old Canadian museum that pays tribute to 45,000 soldiers from Canada who lost their lives during WW2.Mr MacAulay said Ottawa was fiercely against the project - the sixty-unit Domaine des Dunes - proposed by French developer Foncim.Canada stepped in following a two-year legal battle between the museum and Foncim over the use of a road operated by the centre, which Foncim wanted to use during construction."
