=== 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.
