There is a perception the city has abandoned the Cherry Brook Zoo.

Common Councillor Gary Sullivan, who takes the time to urge people to support the zoo at every meeting of Council, tells CHSJ News that isn't the case.

He says the city has given the zoo 110 thousand dollars over the past two years and he doesn't see support on Council for zoo wavering as deliberations on next year's budget loom.

Sullivan is looking for the zoo to receive regional funding but that idea has run into opposition from Grand Bay-Westfield Mayor Grace Losier.
