Inspiration from South of the Border

Given the great challenges facing your Zoo to grow and thrive, I couldn't help but find a bit of inspiration in last night's address to Congress by American President Obama. He spoke of laying a new foundation and identifying new resources in a time of crisis, of pulling together and confronting boldly the challenges we face. He talked of spirit and not being quitters ...and tkaing responsibility. Much of this applies to ensuring that the vision of those who created a Zoo in Saint John 30 years ago remains vibrant and that we do all we can, "inside and out of the box" to assure that the next generation will continue to be able to enjoy a Zoo - a vibrant Zoo - in our community.
