Whether you’re a SAIT student or employee, there are many ways to get involved and support the growth of sustainability initiatives on campus.
Eco-Ambassadors
The Eco-Ambassadors are a student volunteer group dedicated to supporting the growth of sustainability measures on SAIT campus. Being an Eco-Ambassador is all about making impactful change and creating a culture of sustainability #HereAtSAIT.
As an Eco-Ambassador, you’ll engage with the SAIT campus community to not only help others learn how SAIT is bolstering its sustainability initiatives, but how they can weave sustainability concepts into their careers, homes, conversations and everyday habits.
The Eco-Ambassadors are an inclusive and collaborative group of more than 300 students, going the extra mile to uplift SAIT’s sustainability efforts.
Ready to be a role model and sustainability champion on campus? Use your SAIT email to sign-up.
As an Eco-Ambassador, I get to be involved in different activities, to meet people and share our stories and experiences. I’m proud to say my sustainability experiences helped me land a summer internship in 2024.

Clubs and committees
SAIT beekeeping club
Nearly 60,000 honey bees have been calling SAIT home since 2014. The bees spend their time between three rooftop beehives found on top of the John Ware building. Students from the SAIT Beekeeping Club work with SAIT employees, including instructors from the School of Hospitality and Tourism, to maintain their hives and habitat.
Fun fact about our beekeeping club
Each beehive can produce up to 75 lbs of honey each year. The honey is used by students in SAIT’s culinary programs and sold on campus.
Sustainability Employee Engagement Directives (SEED) committee
The SEED committee is a collective of SAIT employees passionate about advancing sustainability initiatives on campus. Membership is open to all SAIT employees.

Our Organization
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.
