It's absolutely free! all you need is your Dieppe Community Association membership. If you don't have a membership, drop by 220 Dorothy Street and pick one from Kim, or buy it at the Shack on the 11th — just $10 per family. This event has been a big hit in previous years, so bring the whole family out for some winter fun!

Dieppe School Closure Citation

The public meeting held at Dieppe School on November 2 was well attended, with around 100 residents turning out to hear why the Regina Board of Education thinks the school should close, and to express their disagreement with that view.

A number of people made presentations in support of the school, including some of the Dieppe School students. There were no presentations supporting the closure of the school.

The meeting received good media coverage, with reports on the local television news and in the Leader-Post the following day.

The final decision regarding the school will be made in January. Until then, please keep calling and emailing the Board Trustees to express your support for the school. A list of contact information in included in this open letter to the community from the Dieppe School Community Council.

Community Garden Development in A E Wilson Park

The location north of Duncan Crescent and Dorothy Street was approved unanimously by City Council on July 25th. Some representations were made by Dieppe Place residents and changes were made to the plan based on their concerns:

• The parking lot size will be reduced from 44 stalls to 27 stalls
• The size of the site has been reduced by .59 hectares
• A buffer zone of 20 metres has been established between the residents and the gardens.
• If there are future requests for expansion at this site, community consultation will be required.
