CAWD will manage water and environmental resources to promote a healthy watershed and sustainable lifestyle for current and future generations.

Video is of a recent build of an earth built dam, designed to protect against flooding of landowners and mitigate municipal and provincial infrastructure. All earth dams are seeded to grass after being built to help hold structure of the design.

Our History

The district first began as Tiger Hills Conservation District in partnership with the Municipalities of Argyle, Strathcona, South Cypress, Glenwood, the Town of Souris, the Village of Glenboro and the Province of Manitoba.

In 2008, Tiger Hills CD rebranded under the name Assiniboine Hills Conservation District (AHCD) and expanded to incl

In 2008, Tiger Hills CD rebranded under the name Assiniboine Hills Conservation District (AHCD) and expanded to include RMs of: Cornwallis, Whitewater, Riverside, Oakland, Village of Wawanesa, and the City of Brandon.

On January 1st, 2020, AHCD was one of Manitoba’s 18 Conservation Districts that became a group of 14 Watershed Districts with the proclamation of the Watershed Districts Act.

This resulted in an organizational name and boundary change for the newly-minted Central Assiniboine Watershed District. The district now includes portions of the following municipalities: Argyle, Cornwallis, Elton, Glenboro-South Cypress, Grassland, Grey, Lorne, Minto-Odanah, Norfolk-Treherne, North Cypress-Langford, Oakland-Wawanesa, Oakview, Pembina, Prairie Lakes, Riverdale, Sifton, Souris-Glenwood, Victoria, Whitehead and the City of Brandon.

As described by the Province of Manitoba, The Watershed Districts Act has:

Moved the districts to watershed-based boundaries to improve management of floods, droughts, and water quality;
Renamed Manitoba’s “Conservation Districts” as “Watershed Districts” to emphasize their mandate; and
Allowed Watershed Districts to form partnerships with non-municipal entities, including Indigenous nations, to enhance watershed management.
In addition to the new legislation, Manitoba’s Watershed Districts have access to new resources to get more done on the landscape.
