If you have the app, check that it's still active on your device. If the app has been offloaded or hibernated, you may miss important alerts.
- iPhone users: If you're using an iPhone, double-check you haven't accidentally offloaded the app. You may need to redownload it to keep receiving notifications, either by clicking the app icon or going to the App Store.
- Android users: To prevent app hibernation, redownload SAITALERT and follow the prompts to disable this feature within the app's settings.

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.
