IT’S HAPPENING!
Well, it is finally happening! After years of planning and a huge pandemic delay, construction is underway. We are thrilled to announce the launch of The Nation Gets In Shape Campaign – a $1 million funding campaign to obtain the internal items for the Sports Complex such as soccer nets, meeting room furnishings and in general to help offset the increased construction costs related to the pandemic. We are thrilled to extend you this opportunity to be a part of history by investing in The Nation Gets In Shape Campaign.

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.
