SAINT JOHN, N.B.- The Director of the Cherry Brook Zoo says federal funding directed at the Moncton Zoo is positive news for all zoos in general.

The Moncton Zoo is receiving 300-thousand dollars for upgrades at the facility…

Linda Collrin says securing government funding is always a struggle. “It gives us hope when we hear another fellow institution of Canadian Accredited Zoos and Aquariums has received funding”, says Collrin. “It gives us hope that we’re now being recognized for the work we do”.

Collrin says main goal of the Cherry Brook Zoo’s new strategic plan is a new, more modern and spacious primate building.
