From Provincials to Nationals, SAIT was the most decorated Alberta post-secondary institution at the Skills Canada competitions.

We can't possibly add up the number of hours our students trained, practiced and prepped for the Provincial and Nationals Skills Canada Competitions.  

But we can beam with pride and talk about how their work paid off #HereAtSAIT.

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.
