📅 It's mid-term break

Enjoy a well-deserved mental rest with no classes from Monday, June 30 to Friday, July 4.

Use the time to rest and get on track for the rest of the semester.

Please note the mid-term break may not apply to programs and courses such as apprenticeship programs, courses running less than 15 weeks, fast track programs and some work-integrated learning courses. If you are unsure about your program or course, please check with your instructor.

😌 Making the most of your break

During your mid-semester break, practice mindfulness, find your calm and make time for your mental health — not only for your happiness, but also for your memory and focus.

📅 Interfaith Centre closed for July

Heads up — the Interfaith Centre (MB305) will be closed for the month of July. This means the food pantry will also be closed. Check out the Saitsa Emergency Food Fund, the Good Food Box or visit the temporary pop-up food station in Stan Grad Centre (Monday to Friday, 10 am to 2 pm) for affordable meal options.

📚 New library rules

Last semester, the Reg Erhardt Library asked about your library experience and how we can improve it. Overwhelmingly, we heard the library can be too loud. 🙉

Here are a few reminders to help respect the shared space:

  • The library is a shared study space, meant for group and individual work, not hanging out.
  • The library can host small groups at tables (four people max) and computer workstations (two people max). If you have a group larger than four, please book a study room.

We’re also introducing a new rule: no food is allowed.

Anyone breaking these rules will be asked to leave for the day. If you see someone using the library inappropriately, you can contact one of the library team members discretely, in real time, through online chat.

ICYMI

Further testing following the City of Calgary’s intensive water testing protocols has revealed elevated inorganic substances in 10 point-of-use locations out of the 106 locations tested.

Eight of these points of use locations are in the Senator Burns building, one in the Thomas Riley building and one at the Mayland Heights campus. Testing was completed on all drinking fountains, water bottle filling stations, office kitchen sinks and commercial kitchens in legacy buildings on campus.

Learn about the impacted areas as well as protective and corrective actions being taken.

Elevator modernization in the Senator Burns building is underway. Learn about the Elevator and Escalator Modernization project and check the status of outages on campus.

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.
