💡 Alternative health care services while we wait for the new SAIT Health Clinic
The Health Clinic will close effective Monday, June 15. When the new Taylor Family Campus Centre opens, it will include a comprehensive suite of medical services designed to meet the long-term needs of our campus and surrounding community.
Until then, Preceptus Health welcomes patients from SAIT. They offer health care services, many covered by Alberta Health, from the North Hill Mall Professional Building — just a two-minute walk from the main campus.
If you were an active patient at our Health Clinic, you will have received an email or physical mail with information about how to access your medical records to ensure continuity of care, wherever you choose to seek support.

Choose a one-hour time slot: 11 am to noon or 12:30 to 1:30 pm, and stop by the Office of Sustainability's community "pit-stop" for coffee and snacks from noon to 12:30 pm.
Let’s show SAIT some love — bring a friend, grab a bag and make a difference.
Once you register, you’ll receive a waiver and a calendar invite for the event.

✅ Sustainability here at SAIT survey
You're invited to share your perceptions and understanding of sustainability at SAIT by participating in a student-led study supported by SAIT's Teaching and Learning Commons.
The short, anonymous, online survey is open until Monday, March 30. Results will help drive recommendations to increase sustainability impact in ways that are meaningful to students.
👋 Interim Welcome Centre coming soon to Johnson-Cobbe
SAIT’s Interim Welcome Centre is opening in the Johnson-Cobbe Energy Centre.
Prep work for the interim centre is underway. Several table/chair groups on the main floor have been removed to allow for the installation of walls, furniture and AV over the next few months.
What’s a Welcome Centre? A central greeting point on campus and a place for students to ask questions and connect with support, services and information.
Why is it interim? A permanent Welcome Centre is part of the design for the new Taylor Family Campus Centre. This temporary location will support a smooth transition when the new building opens.
