Qualico Communities Winnipeg Blog

Qualico Communities understands that a neighbourhood is an organic living thing. That’s why we continue to partner with environmental consultants in the planning and management of our communities to ensure they flourish.

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.

Winnipeg winters may be long and cold, but they also provide the perfect canvas for creativity. From skating trails to snow mazes, there’s no shortage of ways to embrace the season—and one of the most beloved traditions is the annual Festival du Voyageur snow sculptures.

As a long-standing sponsor of Festival du Voyageur, Qualico Communities proudly supports local artists in bringing winter art to life. Due to their popularity in past years, we’ve once again collaborated with renowned sculptors to create not just one but multiple snow sculptures across our communities.

Taking the time to decide where to live is just as important as the home itself. You’ll want a neighbourhood that complements your lifestyle and offers an atmosphere that suits your personality. The good news is that there are numerous communities throughout Winnipeg that can meet the needs of a diverse range of families. Here are some aspects to consider when choosing your dream neighbourhood.
