Quispamsis Comments on The Cherry Brook Zoo













No takers from one municipality on the issue of the Cherry Brook Zoo becoming part of the Regional Facilities Commission.


The zoo made a presenation to Quispamsis council this week and when a motion was called for on the issue, no councillor would show support.


Mayor Murray Driscoll tells CHSJ News, he realizes the zoo needs some financial stability but points out if the town does or doesn't give them cash for the coming year, that in no way indicates whether or not they are in favor of them becoming part of the Regional Facilities Commission.


The Zoo's Director Lynda Collrin says the zoo needs stable year to year funding to be accredited. Last year, it received 60 thousand dollars from the city.
