Creating a new block
To create a new block, make sure you have the appropriate block folder open. All blocks should be saved in the “_block” folder associated with the site folder and the page(s) you’re adding it to.
For example, if you’re creating a block for the Community and Belonging index page, you’d add your block to the _blocks-community-and-belonging subfolder.
Then, click Add Content > Blocks > [Block Name].
Remember to name the block according to our block naming conventions.
After you’ve entered the appropriate content for your block, click the “…” menu in the top-right of the block edit window > Check Content & Submit. Proceed through the spell check, broken links, and accessibility checker.
At this stage, remember to double-check that you are storing the block in the correct placement folder.
If everything looks okay, click Finish. Finally, add the block to your page(s).

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.
