1.) Here is the criteria according to http://whc.unesco.org/ for a place to become a World Heritage Site:
1.to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius;
2.to exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design;
3.to bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared;
4.to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history;
5.to be an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change;
6.to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance. (The Committee considers that this criterion should preferably be used in conjunction with other criteria);
7.to contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance;
8.to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic features;
9.to be outstanding examples representing significant on-going ecological and biological processes in the evolution and development of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and marine ecosystems and communities of plants and animals;
10.to contain the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conservation of biological diversity, including those containing threatened species of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation.
2.) Canada had many people who fought the Germans. Many died and others were injured.

For a place to be designated as a World Heritage Site it has to show these characteristics:

-It has to bear a unique or exceptional testimony to cultural tradition or a civilization that is living or has disappeared.
-It has to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates a significant stage in history.
-It has to be an outstanding example of a human settlement, land use, or sea use which is representative of a culture or human interaction with the environment; especially if it has become vulnerable under impact of irreversible change.
-It has to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas or beliefs, with artistic and literary works of universal significance.
-It has to contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance.
-It to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic features.
-It has to be outstanding examples representing significant on going ecological and biological processes in evolution of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and marine ecosystems and communities of plants and animals.
-It has to contain the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conervation of biological diversity, including those containing threatened species of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation.
Canada played an important role during D Day. 14 000 young Canadians stormed Juno Beach on D Day. They fought and 340 Canadian lives were lost, and 574 wounded. But Canadians did their part to help.
The link here will bring you to a site that will tell you the needs to be a 'World Heritage Center'.

Many Canadian soldiers fought in WW2, and they will always be remembered by us.

I used the same site that Katherine used (I found it on my own, I'm not copying)

Canada played a very important role in D-Day. Canada landed 14 000 troops on Juno Beach. The Canadian Air Force was helping by bombing key enemy targets. The Canadian Navy gave 109 ships and 10 000 sailors.
Once again my printer is unavailable...
This WITW is the Juno Beach Center. It is located in Courseulles-sur-Mer in the Calvados region of Normandy, France at Latitude: 43.90012. Longitude: -78.84957. On June 6th 1944 around 14,000 troops landed on the beach, June 6th was also D-DAY. in 1990 Canadian veterans conceived the center because they felt that what the did, and how they fought in the liberation of Europe did not belong to Germany, where the beach at which they fought was located. The center is now a museum, telling people all bout what happened at the beach, about D-DAY and about the war in general... get it? general as in captain?? THE END
