Local Urban District of Ashern

By-Law 26/63 was passed in December of 1963 to erect the Unincorporated Village District of Ashern. In August of 1970 the Council of the Rural Municipality of Siglunes approved the petition for incorporating the unincorporated Village District of Ashern. UVD’s were continued as LUD’s under the current Municipal Act that came into force on January 1, 1997.  Subsection 434(1) to 434(6) of The Municipal Act sets out these transitional provisions.  

The Local Urban District (LUD) of Ashern is comprised of three committee members representing the LUD and one member of Council for the RM of West Interlake.

The Ashern L.U.D. committee's mission is to enhance the quality of life in our community through ensuring that municipal services are delivered at a level and in a manner that meets the expectations of its citizens. We believe this will be possible by continuing to welcome open suggestions and involvement from all areas of our community, to ensure we represent your interests and the interests of Ashern as a whole.

It is our continued objective to improve the condition of infrastructure and image of our community, while maintaining a balance of ideal vision and tax burden to the ratepayers of Ashern.

The LUD of Ashern has made the Streetscape Beautification Grant available to business in the qualifying area to assist successful applicants in beautifying their property. If you are a business owner who is a renter, you may still apply as long as the owner endorsed your application. The grant will provide 50% of the costs of the beautification project to a maximum grant amount of $1,000.00.
