SOCIAL BENEFITS

Each year SAIT‘s ALIVE members enjoy four social events, approved and organized by the Leadership Team with help from the membership. Members are also encouraged to form special interest groups e.g. monthly “coffee group”. 

• Spring Luncheon usually held in mid-March to mid-April

• Spring Barbecue is held in June.

• Fall Barbecue is held in September.

• Annual General Meeting is held on a weekend before the end of November. The AGM takes place prior to the Christmas Dinner and social evening.

• SAIT Parking (Parking Garage) - SAIT Alumni and Development is supporting SAIT's ALIVE parking on the SAIT campus through the availability of a limited number of one-time exit passes for members who want to attend a meeting, activity or event on campus or want to use the campus facilities such as the bank, Reg Erhardt Library, Culinary Campus International Market or Highwood Dining Room. The new SAIT's ALIVE Pilot Parking Program will be reviewed annually. No need to present a current SAIT's ALIVE membership card as they have a list of current paid-up members
