Back to SearchThe City of Dieppe is working with the Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick and the Association francophone des municipalités du Nouveau-Brunswick to make its voice heard during the provincial election campaign.
Dieppe has identified four priorities that it hopes to work closely on with the next government:
- Working in partnership with the province to improve our community and continue to make Dieppe a great place to live, work and raise a family.
- Implementing a new fiscal framework in response to local governance reform, so that we can properly discharge our new responsibilities.
- Working collaboratively to ensure a safe, quality place to live for all and obtaining provincial support to create an urban housing strategy that takes into account population growth and the needs of the most vulnerable.
- Fighting the rise in crime so that Dieppe continues to be a safe and stable community.
The City invited the candidates from the two ridings representing Dieppe (Shediac Bay-Dieppe and Dieppe-Memramcook) to the September 16 meeting of City Council to present their party’s electoral platform and discuss how they would further the City’s priorities.
