Supporting Student Success

We pride ourselves on our commitment to the success of our Inuit, Metis, and First Nations students.

Programs, resources and services for student success are offered through our Chinook Lodge Aboriginal Resource Centre. SAIT promotes understanding - not only of the culture and values of Indigenous peoples, but of all peoples - and provides the opportunity to meet, engage, and learn together as one diverse community.
