Qualico Communities Winnipeg Blog

Naturalized wetlands have become key features in the creation of our Qualico communities. Wetland construction is a detailed and timely process; it takes multiple phases or stages that progress over a number of years in order for a wetland to reach full maturity. However, once completely established, a naturalized wetland provides many benefits to a community such as helping to clean the watershed, providing valuable habitat for local wildlife and plant species, and offering a place of relaxation and recreation for residents and visitors alike.

Take a look below to see how it all begins (and grows!)

Spring can be a smelly time of year for dog owners, especially when turds can no longer freeze into poopsicles. It’s one thing to become lenient in picking up the poop in your own backyard but imagine seeing and smelling everyone else’s soggy dog poop when you’re out on a walk.

Building a new home is rarely a quick decision. For many people, it’s a process that unfolds over time, with research, visits, and conversations helping things click into place. If you’re just beginning this journey, you likely have many questions. "Where should I build?" "Who should I build with?" "What kind of lot do I need?" While these and more give you plenty to be excited about, they can also seem quite overwhelming.

Winnipeg winters can be long and cold, but they can also transform the city into a creative playground. We have seen skating trails & snow mazes become popular attractions for locals to engage in and embrace the season. However, the creativity of winter in Winnipeg could not be complete without one of the most beloved traditions - the annual Festival du Voyageur snow sculptures.

As a reoccurring annual sponsor of Festival du Voyageur, Qualico Communities proudly supports local artists in bringing ideas come to life through the art of snow sculpting. With the demand & popularity it has cumulated over the years, we’ve once again collaborated with acclaimed sculptors to create five snow sculptures across our communities. This year, David MacNair, Gary Tessier and Jacques Boulet— a trio of local artists known as ‘The Three Amigos’— have carved captivating snow creations.
