MESSAGE FROM THE former MAYOR

Welcome to the Village of Abbey website, with links to local business and agencies in our community.

Incorporated in 1913, Abbey is located in Southwest Saskatchewan, 95 kilometers northwest of Swift Current on Highway #32, and borders the Great Sandhills.

We are a vibrant and supporting community of approximately 125 residents. Our primary economic pillars are Agriculture, Ranching, Natural Gas extraction, and associated Service Sector. 

Municipally, Council is dedicated to providing economically viable and sustainable infrastructure services to our residents. Through strategic partnerships with neighbouring municipalities we are able to maintain progressive social services.

Our greatest asset though, and source of pride, is dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to improve our community. The 'Pioneer Spirit' continuously exhibited sustains our recreational, cultural, and spiritual health.

If you are a visitor; Welcome, we have a treasure trove of attractions to discover.

If you are contemplating relocation the opportunity to be part of something 'bigger' is real.

Thank you for your interest.

Bruce Walker, Mayor
