Dieppe, France
Marcel Diologent and Martine Piétrois were instrumental in creating a place of remembrance honouring the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers who took part in the Dieppe Raid. Heading the Association Jubilee in Dieppe, they played a lead role in creating and overseeing the 19th August 1942 Memorial, a museum built into an old Italian-style theatre. Since its opening, they have maintained it, added numerous authentic artifacts and shared the history of the site with visitors.
