What is copyright?
Copyright means the right to copy. According to the Canadian Copyright Act only the copyright owner has the exclusive legal right to produce or reproduce their work or any substantial part of it - including to copy, publish, translate, or sell the original work.
Copyright is automatic but requires a work be in a fixed format (written down, recorded, etc.) and have some level of creativity.

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.
