It's called 7/8 grooved edging(Rona part# DUA101MLU08). I have been talking back and forth with someone else in the US about finding some for them. It almost seems as though only Canadian stores carry it which seems odd. The slots in the track pads are to let dirt out. Without them I found that dirt packs up in the links and won't come out. Milling the slots almost doubles the time it takes to make the pads but I like the look of it and at least some of the dirt escapes.
