Despite all the talk about government cutbacks, Symphony New Brunswick is on the receiving end of more than 85 thousand dollars from the federal government.
That announcement coming from Saint John M-P Rodney Weston who denies it has anything to do with all this talk about an impending election.
The President of the symphony's foundation, Reid Parker tells CHSJ News the endowment fund is quite healthy these days although it has become tougher to raise money privately the last couple of years.
The federal government gives 71 cents for every dollar raised by the symphony.
