Want to do your part to protect the environment? Join us for Earth Day, hosted by the City of Dieppe, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Rotary St-Anselme Park. Miniature horses, a community cleanup, exhibitors, pollinator hotel building and more! See the full schedule below.
Each of us can make a meaningful collective impact by doing our part, even imperfectly.
In case of bad weather, check closure information at: dieppe.ca/closure
Can’t make it, but still want to get involved? Take part in your community’s spring cleanup by picking up litter, or support our eco-friendly vision by creating a space dedicated to native plants that support pollinators. For example, help restore monarch butterfly populations by planting milkweed, the only plant monarch caterpillars feed on.
