The biggest surprise of the 2016 provincial election for Mayor Deb Higgins was the voter turnout.

According to Elections Saskatchewan, voter turnout was reported to be 56.8 per cent in the province.

“It’s kind of disappointing because I know I’ve always viewed it as a responsibility to get out and vote, to select whom we feel is the best person to represent us,” said Higgins.
