📱 SAIT's new tool for reporting sexual and gender-based violence
Introducing REES: a new secure online reporting platform for incidents of sexual and gender-based violence. Through REES, students and employees can create a record of their experience, submit a report to the appropriate SAIT office for follow-up, or choose anonymous reporting with access to information, resources and support through anonymous two-way messaging.
REES is one of several reporting options available at SAIT and helps connect individuals with the appropriate supports and next steps based on their situation. Whether, when and how you report is always your choice.

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.
