==Attractions== The city of Dieppe is a participant in the province of New Brunswick's local historic places program, funded by the government of Canada through the historic places initiative.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dieppe.ca/doc/download/Patrimoine1.pdf |title=Historic Places |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111218190201/http://www.dieppe.ca/doc/download/Patrimoine1.pdf |archive-date=2011-12-18 |url-status=dead |publisher=Ville de Dieppe}}</ref> === Monuments === *Honoré Melanson Village—Once known as the community district of Fox Creek, this site was established by Paul Honoré Melanson and his wife Marie-Josephe Breau in 1748. This couple resisted the [[Expulsion of the Acadians|1755 Deportation]] and sought exile in [[Expulsion of the Acadians#Louisiana|Louisiana in 1764]]. The site commemorated with a plaque is located at the intersection of Marguerite, Amirault, and Fox Creek streets.<ref name=autogenerated2>{{Cite web |title=Historic Places and Monuments |publisher=Ville de Dieppe |url=https://www.dieppe.ca/en/visiterdieppe/lieuxpatrimoniauxetmonuments.aspx |access-date=August 23, 2019 |archive-date=August 22, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190822164733/https://www.dieppe.ca/en/visiterdieppe/lieuxpatrimoniauxetmonuments.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> *Odyssée—This monument, located at "Le coude" on the [[Petitcodiac river]], tells the story of Acadian resistance on the banks of the river, after deportation orders were issued. [[Joseph Broussard]] and his friends used [[Guerrilla warfare]] tactics to avoid [[deportation]].<ref name="dieppe.ca"/> *Veterans Cenotaph—The Veterans’ Monument was erected by the Dieppe Military Veterans Association in 1981. It is located at 333 Acadie Avenue. The veterans wanted a memorial erected in honour of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the [[Dieppe Raid|beaches of Dieppe, France]], and elsewhere during all of the wars in which Canada and its allies took part. In 2000, a granite base was installed in honour of [[World War I]], [[World War II]] and [[Korean War]], as well as the contribution of peacekeepers. A base bearing the words "Nous nous souviendrons / Lest we forget" with a poppy on each side was added at the back of the monument.<ref name="dieppe.ca"/> [[Image:St-AnselmeChurch.jpg|thumb|260px|left|Saint Anselme Church. The current building was erected in 1900.]] === Prominent buildings === *Saint Anselme Church is a [[Romanesque Revival architecture|Romanesque Revival]] Catholic church located at 1014 Amirault Street in the Saint-Anselme sector of Dieppe. Built at the turn of the 20th century, this rectangular cut-stone structure has a gable roof and two square towers on the front façade. Saint-Anselme Church is designated a Local Historic Place for its religious role and for its architecture. It illustrates the Acadians’ respect for religious and spiritual matters. The church replaced one that had been built in 1839. Originally, a chapel built in 1812, located west of the current Chapelle Street, was used for worship until 1839. Construction work on Saint-Anselme Church began in 1898. The blessing of the church took place on October 11, 1904.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=9464 |title=Saint-Anselme Church |website=HistoricPlaces.ca |publisher=Parks Canada |access-date=August 23, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mariereinedelacadie.ca/|title=Unité pastorale Marie Reine de l'Acadie |last=Leger |first=Marc |access-date=29 June 2016}}</ref> *Saint Teresa of the Infant Jesus Church is a large stone and concrete structure with a bell tower and Gothic windows. This modern interpretation of Gothic Revival religious architecture is located at the corner of Sainte-Thérèse Street and Acadie Avenue in Dieppe. The church highlights the importance of the Catholic Church in the community life of Leger Corner. In 1930, this parish broke away from the parish of Saint-Anselme and built its first church, made of wood. That building was converted into a community centre in 1950 when this new stone church was opened to the public. Sainte-Thérèse Church is recognized for its architecture. This place of worship was built by contractor Abbey Landry of Memramcook from 1949 to 1950. This building exhibits a modern interpretation of traditional Gothic Revival religious architecture. In its Gothic windows, magnificent stained-glass panels illustrate the life of patron Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus, a Carmelite nun who died at Lisieux, France in 1897, at the age of 24.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sainte-Thérèse Church |url=http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=9472&pid=0 |website=HistoricPlaces.ca |publisher=Parks Canada |access-date=August 23, 2019}}</ref> *[https://en.maisondoironhouse.ca Joseph-Doiron House] is located at 1150 Amirault Street. Built in 1847, the Joseph-Doiron House was once the meeting and celebration place for the Village of St-Anselme. Its basement also served as a school. [[Joseph Doiron]] was a literate notary who had been educated in Memramcook by Father Louis Brodeur.<ref name=autogenerated2 /> === Shopping === *[[Champlain Place]]—The largest single-building shopping centre in Atlantic Canada by floor space (also the largest single-story mall east of [[Montreal]]) opened in 1974 and currently has over 150 stores and services with five anchor tenants. An expansion to the mall was added in 1986 with the anchor store Sobeys. In addition, a major interior and exterior renovation of the mall was completed in November 2008. The original anchor store [[Sears Canada|Sears]] was established in 1969. *[[Bass Pro Complex (Dieppe)|Bass Pro Complex]]—The Complex includes a [[Cineplex Entertainment|Cineplex Theatre]], [[Chapters Books Inc.|Chapters Bookstore]] and a [[Bass Pro Shop]].
