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.

Stephen Daniel, a longtime political observer now stepping into the local arena, is running for Estevan’s city council aiming to bring transparency, fiscal responsibility, and lower business taxes to the community.

“I’m running for council to better represent the will, the best interest and the concerns of the citizens of Estevan,” said Daniel, who has been following politics for over 25 years.

I managed to get out for a country cruise Sunday and was fortunate to find a few moose. This young fella found some green grass and was very reluctant to give it up. He decided having his photo taken and still be able to enjoy the grass was a good deal. The entire shoot lasted about 15 minutes before he got a little too far away, while still munching on the green grass.

More photos can be viewed on McGillivray Moments Photos For You Facebook page or at my Gallery in the Estevan Market Mall.

Saskatchewan's provincial election is on Monday. The Saskatchewan Party, in government for the last 17 years, is hoping for a return to power, while the NDP is fighting to move out of the Opposition benches.

Here are some memorable quotes from politicians during the four-week campaign:
