SASKATOON EGADZ opened the doors to Ground Zero on Monday, a youth-led housing project designed to serve at-risk teens. The home offers 10 bedrooms to help people aged 15 to 19 with an immediate, safe place to reside while providing them tools to begin moving forward in their journeys. The planning and design for the home were completely done by a youth committee who have been impacted by the organization, something EGATZ executive director Don Meikle said makes the house that much more special. “Because the youth are our experts on the committee, we were able to engage from a youth perspective,” said Meikle.
