Canada thistle is a perennial, noxious weed that has spear-like leaves with sharp barbs. This species has a deep and extensive root system that can rapidly grow back from even a small piece of root.

While driving in Oak Bluff West, you will notice our roundabout on the corner of Horizon Drive & Bur Oak Boulevard. Roundabouts are being implemented more frequently in our newer communities than in our older neighbourhoods. This is because roundabouts are much safer in high traffic areas than traditional stop signs. When used properly, roundabouts have proven to reduce collisions and the severity of them by promoting continuous traffic flow, lower speeds and one-way travel.

At Qualico Communities, maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming neighbourhoods is a top priority throughout every stage of development. Construction waste bins play an important role in keeping job sites tidy and minimizing debris as new homes are built. However, these bins are intended for builder use only, and residents are asked not to dispose of personal garbage, landscaping waste, or large household items in them. Instead, residents should use the waste disposal services provided by the RM of Macdonald.

Knowing who maintains which boulevard can be confusing. To help clarify the procedures on boulevard maintenance, we’ve put together this guide to help you determine who is responsible for a specific area.

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 Oak Bluff West to ensure it flourishes.
