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.
