GIVING STUDENTS A LEG UP ON GIVING DAY

 * 18 October 2022

For Andrew Drummond*, attending SAIT was part of a career change that allowed
him to spend more time with his family. Originally from southern Ontario,
Drummond studied Earth Science and Commerce at St. Mary’s University in Halifax
before working as a geologist for several years. When an unforeseen life event
forced Drummond to sell his company and home and move to Edmonton, he was faced
with a difficult career decision.

 “I tried to do the same kind of work out here, but it was difficult because I
didn’t have the kind of connections and crews that I had back in Ontario,” he
shares. “So, I switched into a new trade and chose refrigeration since it seemed
like a better trade for somebody with a family.”


A DIFFICULT DECISION

Drummond found a job with an Edmonton-based commercial full-service company and
has worked on their HVAC repair and preventative maintenance team for the past
two and a half years.

As part of Drummond’s long-term plan to attain his Refrigeration Technician
ticket, he looked into refrigeration and air conditioning programs. He found
openings in the spring intake for SAIT’s Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Mechanic program. Despite the three-and-a-half-hour drive, Drummond decided to
enroll, find a short-term rental in Calgary and make the journey from Edmonton
to Calgary every week. But after shopping around, he could not find an
affordable place to stay.

“I came down thinking I’d be able to find a place to rent,” he says. “But most
places wanted crazy amounts of money, so I thought I’d stick it out and stay in
my car. It was definitely a bit of overconfidence, but I just thought it’ll be
fine; I’ll just sleep in the car.”

Drummond would attend his courses during the day and return to his car in the
evenings to sleep for the next four weeks.

“It was just bizarre. There were some characters in that area that would wander
around, and some tried to break into my car in the middle of the night,” he
shares. “I wasn’t able to focus on my studies, and I wasn’t doing as well on my
tests as I should.”

To add pressure to the situation, Drummond wasn’t receiving paychecks while
attending the program and knew that if he failed, he would be on the hook for
his missed earnings. On top of all that, he was away from his family for most of
the week. When he realized he couldn’t keep going in that situation, Drummond
reached out to Student Services to see what support he might get.


A MASSIVE RELIEF

Because of his remarkable situation, Drummond qualified for financial support
from the I.G. Lewis Student Emergency Fund, a fund that provides short-term
assistance for SAIT students who experience a financial crisis that threatens
the successful completion of their studies. SAIT’s Lamb Learner Success Centre
provided Drummond with grocery store voucher gift cards and even managed to
secure him a room in SAIT residence for the completion of his program.

“I could have potentially failed my classes, and I was pretty stressed out with
the whole situation and being away from my family,” he remembers. “So, it was a
massive relief. It helped tremendously. I was able to cook meals for myself and
have basic security.”

Drummond successfully completed his first intake and is now back in Edmonton
with his family, ready to take the next step in his journey towards his
Refrigeration Technician ticket.


GET SET FOR GIVING DAY

SAIT’s Giving Day is Oct. 19-20, 2022, and one of the priority areas of support
is the I.G. Lewis Student Emergency Fund. Find out how you can get involved and
transform the lives of students like Drummond at SAIT.ca/GivingDay.
