✨ Happy Ramadan!
It’s Ramadan, a sacred time of fasting, prayer and charity for Muslims. For Muslim students, balancing coursework, exams and extracurricular activities with the spiritual practices of the month can be challenging, requiring careful time management and prioritization.
Those outside the Muslim faith can support Muslim students by providing accommodations for fasting and prayer, fostering a supportive environment, learning about Ramadan, and promoting understanding and respect for their religious observance.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
