Parents of children, seniors, and other residents of The Nation voiced their wish list dreams for community recreation, during a May 31 public meeting at the community centre in Limoges. Some also expressed frustration at what they see as delays on the part of council, about whether or not to follow the example of neighbouring municipalities like Russell Township, and either erect a sports dome or build a sports and recreation complex. “I believe this town deserves a sports complex,” said Vicky Perry, a recent newco- mer to the area from Châteauguay, Québec.

It’s your money we’re going to be spending, and we want to make sure we’re spending it appropriately.” Brière said residents could email more comments and suggestions to the munici- pal office or to himself at francis.briere@ nationmun.ca.
