Mayor Ivan Court says the thousands of dollars worth of cuts to community groups in the city budget will put a big strain on some of the organizations.
Court says while on paper it's only a few thousand dollars here and there being taken out, it can bring real hardship for some organizations as some groups are losing all of its city funding.
Some groups losing all city funding include Key Industries, Symphony New Brunswick, and the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation.
Over 300-thousand dollars was axed in the new city budget as the city grapples with the pension deficit.
