There is a section of land named "Boisé de Roxboro" designated 22 August 2001 as protected woodland.

[12][13] The Quebec and Federal governments do not actively protect the park and woods like Parc des Rapides-du-Cheval-Blanc (named 1997-03-25)[14] and as a result the area of park land has significantly shrunk and continues to shrink due to development.

[15] [16] On January 1, 2002, the formerly independent town was forcibly merged with Dollard-des-Ormeaux to become a borough in the new city of Montreal.

[17] However, because the province required 35% turnout for the result to be valid, the referendum did not carry and the town was merged.

Roxboro's former borough partner, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, voted against the reorganization and de-merged at that time.
