The issue of the contract going out of province is expected to come before Common Council Monday night.
Gentle Path has been operating in Saint John for the past 13 years and its Executive Director Judy Urqhuart tells CHSJ News awarding the contract to a big out of province company flies in the face of rhetoric about the non-profits in the city being so important.
Urqhuart says the province earlier contracted counselling services for its employees out of province and the loss of the city's contract would be a huge blow.
