🌈 Show your Pride in Construction

Pride in Construction spearheaded a movement to eradicate verbal and psychological abuse endured by members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community on construction sites. Through tireless advocacy, construction site visits and global media attention, the group flipped the narrative to celebrate individuals, not just their skills.

You're invited to be a part of the Pride in Construction event at SAIT.

Attend a fireside chat in the morning, visit vendor booths in the afternoon and chat with organizations who are proud to support a diverse workforce.

Registration is only necessary for the fireside chat, as limited seating is available.

🚧 Stay safe around construction

Construction is ongoing on the new Taylor Family Campus Centre — and there’s lots of activity on and around the site. 

When crossing to and from the CTrain, stay alert and stay safe: 

🛑 STOP Pay attention – avoid distractions, including your phone
⚠️ WAIT Follow directions from traffic flaggers – they’re here for everyone’s safety
✅ GO Use only designated crossings and detours when clear

Pedestrians, stay on the sidewalk, don’t shortcut through the parking lot or jaywalk across SAIT Ave. Drivers, watch out for pedestrians.

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.
