The Zone to host an open house on Sept. 30 Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Community - The first thing a person notices when they walk into The Zone is a new light, open and energetic feeling. The space, located in the Lion Dick Brulé Community Centre in Glen Cairn, now boasts sky-blue walls, which are lined with comfortable couches; a pool table dominates the centre of the room, while a computer desk is tucked away in a corner, pumping out chart-topping tunes. There is still some work to be done, such as acquiring new lighting as well as a writing desk for homework, and each youth will be given a tile to paint or decorate before the drop-in centre hosts an open house at the end of the month. “We worked really hard to fix up the space,” said Jessie Cornford, a child and youth worker with The Zone. Chase McDonald, 14, has been using the drop-in for almost a year. He helped pick the new colours on the walls and paint the space. “To have fun; meet new people,” he said is the reason he decided to check out the space last October. He’s also received volunteer hours for school and participated in outdoor cleanups. The teens are planning an open house on Sept. 30 to give the community a chance to see their handiwork and learn more about what drop-in offers. See THE ZONE, page 2
