Welcome to the community of Dawson’s Landing, a Qualico Calgary Communities development. We sincerely hope you enjoy your new home and your new community for many years to come! This letter provides you with a general overview of your association and membership benefits.
Dawson’s Landing Owners Association
Registered under the Societies Act of Alberta, your Dawson’s Landing Owners Association (DLOA) is responsible for the care, maintenance, and development of certain amenities in your community. This may include area beautification projects, superior levels of care on City landscaped areas, ongoing communication to the membership, and organized community-based events which promote neighbourly activities.
DLOA will also provide certain financial and administrative services, including annual notices and the collection of fees from its members. These fees are necessary to fund the ongoing operation of the Association, as well as maintenance of amenities, events, and other activities deemed necessary by the Association to ensure its long-term sustainability.

An Owners Association is an organization created by the developer to own, operate, and maintain certain features within the community that were established by the developer and will not maintained by the municipality in the future. These features may include entrance signage, ornamental parks and ponds, enhanced landscaping maintenance, pathway snow removal, community beautification, pathways, fencing upkeep, and other community areas.
DLOA was established to maintain the value of community amenities and to ensure a high standard of maintenance of common spaces, ensuring that Dawson’s Landing’s many unique attributes and features will be maintained for many years to come.
DLOA is a means of building community pride and unity amongst residents through community beautification, events, and areas. Active involvement in DLOA is an excellent way to meet fellow owners, and an opportunity to help shape the community’s future through planning and input. Organized events will be provided to enhance the sense of community and to encourage neighbourly relations.
The developer will legally establish an Owners Association early in the planning stages of the community.
An Encumbrance is registered on the title of every lot in the community of Dawson’s Landing, making each owner a member of DLOA.
All owners and residents of Dawson’s Landing will enjoy the long-term benefits of enhanced maintenance, which provides a more attractive community. This helps to maintain market values and to preserve the long-term value of each home in Dawson’s Landing, enhancing the overall community experience.
DLOA is owned by all property owners within Dawson’s Landing.

At that time, QCC will turn control of DLOA over to the membership. This timeline will be solely at the discretion of DLOA. Ultimately, DLOA will be self-funding and managed by an independent third party.
