Community Service
The Service Saturday Program is a social, flexible, and rewarding way to make a positive concrete difference in our community and on campus without long-term or individual volunteering. With 2 - 4 hour volunteering increments and a range of different opportunities offered one Saturday each month, there is something for everyone to get involved, have some fun, meet other students from Tech, and of course, help our community! More details will be posted as the event draws near. Please note events are subject to change due to weather and availability of service projects. Please remember that you are responsible for your own transportation to these events.

October 17th - Alberta Restoration
Two Tech vans full of students made the trip to the Ford Center for wood splitting and brush clearing. The goal of the day was to restore the mill backdrop to its historical state. (see photo).
