Mother bear Aurora, gave birth to two cubs on Nov. 11, but one of the cubs died less than 24 hours later.
As she was born on Remembrance Day, the name was chosen to remember the successful operation carried out by Canadian soldiers on Juno Beach in Normandy, France on D-Day.
Juno was also named a honourary member of the Canadian Forces.
The public can visit the new bear beginning Saturday, Feb. 27, which is International Polar Bear Day.
