About Central Assiniboine Watershed District

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

The Central Assiniboine Watershed District (CAWD) has evolved from its beginnings as the Tiger Hills Conservation District, expanding over time through partnerships with local municipalities and the Province of Manitoba. In 2020, following the introduction of the Watershed Districts Act, the organization transitioned to a watershed-based model and adopted its current name. Today, CAWD supports a broad region encompassing numerous Manitoba municipalities, with a renewed focus on flood and drought management, water quality, and collaborative watershed stewardship—including partnerships with Indigenous nations and non-municipal groups.

Our team is made up of passionate and dedicated individuals who are committed to protecting the environment. We have experts in the fields of sustainability, ecology, and conservation who work tirelessly to further our mission.
