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

  

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 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.
