A concussion is a brain injury. It can’t be seen on X-rays, CT scans or MRIs. It may affect the way a person thinks, feels and acts.
Any blow to the head, face or neck may cause a concussion. A concussion may also be caused by a blow to the body if the force of the blow causes the brain to move around inside the skull. A concussion can happen to anyone – anywhere – including:
A concussion is a serious injury. While the effects are typically short-term, a concussion can lead to long-lasting symptoms and even long-term effects.
There are many signs and symptoms of a concussion to look out for, including:
If you notice signs of a concussion in others, or experience any of these symptoms yourself, consult with a physician or nurse practitioner.

Kawabunga offers different day camp experiences around The Nation Municipality.
St-Isidore will be hosting Kawabunga’s Summer Camps again this year! Check out their Facebook for more information!
A report will be presented to the municipal council on Monday April 24, 2023 in relation to the possibility of a summer camp in Limoges.
This study aimed to determine the overall effectiveness of the Recreation Department; determine if the quality of services meets the needs of the citizens; and determine if there are opportunities for efficiencies.
The key themes that have emerged from the Service Review have provided the basis for opportunities to enhance the Departments’ efficiency and effectiveness, enhance customer service and ensure an appropriate level of resources to maintain current and future services and service levels.
Read the final reportResidents in rural communities experience a unique environment and a distinct lived experience that is often well connected to the rural landscape. In addition, that outdoor experience is tightly woven into cultural, heritage and historical significance. Planning and development strategies – which include Parks and Recreation Master Plans – help rural municipalities create a healthier community and in turn a healthier population.
The Nation Municipality worked with the consulting group PRC Solutions to develop The Nation Municipality’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which sets out a vision, strategic objectives and key initiatives for the period 2020-2034. The master plan will serve as a policy framework to manage and sustain parks, recreation programs and facilities. It will guide decision-making for future capital and operational initiatives.
Parks and Recreation Master PlanStatus: currently in the Request for Proposal phase.
The Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) inspections for The Nation Municipality’s community centres were completed in January 2021 by McIntosh Perry and the reports were received at the end of March 2021.

The community centres received the following FCI scores:
