Empowering future-ready energy
At SAIT, we’re proud of our roots in oil and gas. We also know that sustainable energy and technology will be critical to energy security, economic growth and environmental sustainability as the world's population increases and demand for energy continues to rise.
As Canada’s first school of energy, we’re committed to advancing next-generation energy with future-ready learning options for all career stages.
Taught by industry experts, we bring together diverse disciplines to ensure that our graduates are equipped to create energy systems that optimize and connect all viable forms of energy in smart, responsible ways. Join us in tackling the most critical work of our time.
I chose Environmental Technology due to the growing environmental sector in industry, as well as my personal interests in botany, ecology, hydrology and chemistry. If I can take my love of stomping around on mountains into my workplace while bettering the world, I would count that as a success.

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.
