Eco-Friendly City

The City of Dieppe is aware of the major potential impact of climate change and wants to maintain a high-quality living environment. To that end, it strives to follow the best environmental practices available and develop the municipality responsibly and in harmony with the natural environment that surrounds it.

The city’s goal is to create projects and initiatives that help maintain these natural assets. It encourages active transportation through its network of trails and bike paths and promotes the use of public transit and alternative forms of transportation.

Energy

Energy conservation is key. Changes have been implemented to not only conserve energy, resulting in significant cost savings, but also to reduce our energy use.

Forestry

Urban forestry is of vital importance to the city. The municipality currently maintains more than 5,000 trees, not including treed areas.

The tree maintenance staff:

  • assesses and manages the municipality’s trees
  • creates and implements management plans for urban trees and wooded areas
  • plants, maintains, protects, preserves and, when necessary, removes trees located within city limits

Water

Water conservation is also important for the environment and our wallet! By reducing our water consumption, we preserve our water supply and the environment.
