Dieppe looks to honour 8 pioneering women

By Brad Perry Jul 18, 2024 | 7:31 AM

Dieppe is seeking the names of pioneering women to name eight trails throughout the city.

It is part of the Women Trailblazers Bank project to showcase the city’s women through a heritage tour and a place-name bank.

The project will honour women who have distinguished themselves or worked behind the scenes and highlight those who have played a part in local heritage.

Trail names would be accompanied by interactive posters that tell the stories of these local francophone women.

Names are being accepted in eight categories: politics, sports, environment, Canadian Armed Forces, intercultural relations, creative pursuits, health, and entrepreneurship.

You have until Sept. 9 to make your submission. The selection committee will meet in mid-September and the shortlisted names will be announced in December.
