Johnson Calls To Close Chippewa Zoo

The Chippewa zoo could soon be a thing of the past.

Councillor Rebecca Johnson says she’d like to see the wildlife exhibit closed as one way to pare down on budget costs.

Johnson says it costs the city around $3,000 a year to keep each of the 34 animals.

Johnson says she plans to bring forward an amendment to close the zoo at tonight’s budget deliberations. (File photo)
