The Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh established a Short-Term Rental (STR) Committee with four (4) citizen appointments and three members of Council. This special (Ad-hoc) committee of Council made a recommendation to Council on a draft licensing by-law to regulate STRs in the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh (ACW). After completing its mandate, the Short-Term Rental Committee recommended adoption of the draft Short-Term Rental By-Law, which Council subsequently adopted as By-Law 68- 2025.

Work is underway to implement the licensing program, with a launch expected in the coming months.
