In less than one week at the start of the Second World War, the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art (PITA, as SAIT was known then) moved all of its students to temporary classrooms throughout the city. Why? So that the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan could open its No. 2 Wireless School in PITA’s Main Building. Now known as Heritage Hall, the building welcomed thousands of air force pilots and crew members from Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
