Transit Cuts Protest Set For Saturday In Kings Square

If you have some free time tomorrow, your participation is welcome at a protest in King Square.
Organizers are upset of what they call the drastic impact of cuts to Saint John Transit.
Tammy Calvin tells CHSJ News the cuts are reaching a critical moment with a second round of cuts set to kick in April 1st.

She says these cuts are affecting people so she and Andrea Richards decided to do something because none of the non-profit groups and businesses were saying anything.

Calvin says everyone is invited including members of the transit workers union and management at Saint John Transit.  Over 2300 people have joined a Facebook group set up for the event and it gets underway at noon tomorrow at King Square.
