Katepwa (2016 population: 312) is a resort village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within Census Division No. 6. It is on the eastern and southern shores of Katepwa Lake in the Rural Municipality of Abernethy No. 186. The name Katepwa likely comes from the Cree word Kahtapwao meaning "What is calling?" The name was given to the last in the chain of four lakes, Katepwa Lake. Legend has it that spirits inhabited the shores of the lake and First Nation people would hear voices on the lake.
The Resort Village of the District of Katepwa was incorporated on July 24, 2004.[2] Its incorporation was the result of the amalgamation of three separate resort villages – Katepwa Beach, Katepwa South and Sandy Beach.[5] Katepwa Beach and Katepwa South originally incorporated as a resort villages on August 1, 1957 and January 1, 1990 respectively.[6][7]
