Where to Eat
There are many food options on campus, making it easy to fuel up! Our first recommendation is The Odyssey Cafe located in Senator Burns building.
With student-friendly prices, diverse menu, and friendly staff, it's truly the best on campus.
Transportation
You can easily get around on the city's CTrain! The CTrain is the city's light rail transit system. To learn more, visit: calgarytransit.com/home.html.
Calgary also has multiple outdoor pathways and bikeways! With SAIT being located in downtown Calgary where it's fairly flat, biking in the summer months can be one of the most enjoyable ways to commute! View a map of all pathways and bikeways.
