Abernethy is a small community of 197 people in Saskatchewan, Canada, ranking 4,037th in Canada in terms of population located about one hour east of Regina and one hour west of Yorkton. To the south of Abernethy lies the Qu'Appelle Valley in which Katepwa beach is located.
The current mayor is Janet Englot, and the town council consists of Brian Wilkes, Roy Bearden, Beverley Halford, and Kevin Stryker.
Abernethy celebrated its one hundredth anniversary in the summer of 2004 with a centennial celebration held at the same time as the annual agricultural fair.
In 2006 Abernethy had a population of 197 living in 99.5 dwellings, a -7.5% decrease from 2001. The village has a land area of 1.03 km2 (0.40 sq mi) and a population density of 190.9/km2 (494/sq mi).
Abernethy is primarily an agricultural community although there are currently several businesses operating in Abernethy. Among them is a CO-OP grocery store, gas bar, and cafe, Canada Post Office, Abernethy Nature Heritage Museum, Tri Way Fertilizer, and two nearby hog barns operated by Hypor International.
School Children are bussed to Lemberg and Neudorf in the east and Balcarres in the west because Abernethy School was closed in 1994 and due to lack of proper maintenance had to be destroyed in the summer of 2005.
In the summer of 2005 the movie The Messengers which stars Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott, and John Corbett was filmed in the valley south of Abernethy and east of Katepwa.
