So I noticed a story last week in the Gazette (cryptofascist birdcage liner though it may be, it's still the only English paper in this City so I check it out now and then)...
Ferme Angrignon has no budget for this year, and its fate will be decided once and for all when the next budget comes out.
I'm guessing it'll be closed for good.
I have to say, it always struck me as strange that a city with the size and history of Montreal doesn't have a decent-sized Natural History museum or zoo. And no, the Redpath and the Biodome don't count; they're fun but very rinkydink.
