Dieppe’s weekly Fun on Ice is a fabulous way to embrace winter, enjoying skating on the oval, live music, bonfires, and hot chocolate at Place 1604. This week’s entertainment by Marty pi les Roots!
One Friday each month the folks at the Boys & Girls Club of Dieppe invites the community to join them for a free meal. Children and parents are welcome; a great chance to visit the facility and learn about their programs. Call 857-3807 ext.113 for details!
Friday night the Wildcats host the Quebec Rampart and on Saturday afternoon the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles will be in town – always a great match up!
