Tiger Cubs

The three tiger cubs at the Magnetic Hill zoo will be moving….so you only have till the end of the month to see them before they pack their bags.

Zoo manager Bruce Dougan told the Times and Transcript Misha Sasha and Zahkar , who were born in June, are old enough now to leave their parents. Unlike Lions, tigers are a solitary species. The trio will be heading back to the zoo near Barrie Ontario where their poarents came from.

Alik and Anya came to Moncton as one year olds and successfully bred so Elmvale Zoo will get their offspring and look for new homes for the siblings.

Safe Harbour

Safe Harbour will reopen in the Spring. The youth shelter had to close down last January because it couldn’t pay off a lien on the building.

Partners for Youth C-E-O John Sharpe told the Telegraph-Journal it will take over operation of the facility and the responsibility of raising funds for operational costs. The Anglican Diocese of Fredericton has stepped up with a donation of $643,000 to pay off the lien. Sharpe says his group is also partnering with the provincial government to reopen Safe Harbour in March…but there will be an official launch next week.
