Heritage Hall is one of the most identifiable buildings in Calgary — and the embodiment of SAIT’s history as a global leader in applied education. This episode explores the vital role volunteering, generosity and giving back have played in establishing Calgary as a world-class city, and in elevating SAIT as an institution. From the excitement of the 1988 Winter Olympics to corporate gifts to serving on the SAIT Board of Governors, philanthropy has transformed SAIT in countless ways.

Join Brian Bowman, Director of Alumni and Development at SAIT, and Larry Macdonald, a strong supporter who has served SAIT in many ways (including as Chair of the Board of Governors) and who received an honorary SAIT Bachelor of Technology degree in 2006, as they discuss the ways philanthropy nurtures great cities, the excitement of restoring Heritage Hall during the 1980s and how giving back enables students to succeed today and in the future.
