🌎 Today is Earth Day

Each year on April 22, people around the globe recognize Earth Day to raise awareness and take action on a variety of environmental topics. Use today as a reminder to be more sustainable any time of year:

  1. Sort your waste — find out what goes where.
  2. Better yet, reduce your waste with reusable mugs, bags, containers and cutlery.
  3. Turn off the lights when not in use.
  4. Conserve water by not just letting it run. See a leak on campus? Report it to Helpline.
  5. Take SAIT's ENVS 128: Sustainability at Work and Home online course.

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.
