SaskPower is celebrating 10 years of carbon capture at the Boundary Dam power station in Estevan.

The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facility has captured over 6.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and prevented that from being emitted into the atmosphere.

The final results of Saskatchewan's provincial election were counted out on Saturday, with Elections Saskatchewan finishing their work.

The total count stands as the Saskatchewan party received 244,037 votes and 34 seats during the election.

The Saskatchewan NDP meanwhile ended the count with 188,373 votes and 27 seats, improving from their previous total but not by enough to secure government.

For the parties that didn't see any seats, the Buffalo Party received 3,267, The Saskatchewan United Party got 18,023, and the Green Party got 7,957.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture released its final crop report of the year, summing up the final week from October 15 to 21.

As of now, producers across Saskatchewan have finished up the harvest with 100 per cent of the crop in the bin.

Early into the season in May and June, many areas received above-average rainfall which could have led to a later harvest. However, hot and dry conditions caused crops to rapidly mature which caused harvest to take place earlier than expected.

With polls showing the Saskatchewan Party and Saskatchewan NDP neck and neck in the provincial election, tonight's results will need to be closely watched to see who comes out on top.

For the NDP, they currently hold 14 seats, all of which are projected to be safe on election day. The NDP does also have a likelihood of grabbing an extra 13 ridings which were within a 25 point gap last election.
