#SAITpride this month
Like colours unified in a rainbow, Pride brings people together. It’s a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and a movement for fostering inclusion every day. We invite you to celebrate with us this February!

Coronavirus-related hoax
On Thursday, Jan. 30, a coronavirus-related hoax occurred on campus. SAIT Security is supporting the Calgary Police Service in their investigation.

For any personal health concerns, please contact your health care provider or call Alberta Health Link at 811.
Boost your mood and beat the winter blahs
Well, it's February. If you're feeling a little down, you may have a case of the winter blahs. It's pretty common this month — the festive holiday break is behind us, daylight is still in short supply and the weather can make things seem a little bleak.
Smash the blahs — commit to one daily mood-boosting activity throughout the month.
