Trojan Outreach Program (TOP) sponsored by Sodexo
During each season, all SAIT Trojans teams will be heading out into the community to run clinics and take part in charitable events with local schools, minor sport programs, and charities. The SAIT Trojan Outreach Program (TOP) sponsored by Sodexo is an excellent opportunity for our athletes to give something back to the communities that support the SAIT Trojans.
The Trojan Outreach Program has been nationally recognized in 2004 and 2007 with the Community Service award by the CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association). SAIT Polytechnic is the only post-secondary institution to win the award twice.
