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:
