In the fall of 1975 the SAKC, then known as the Keyano College Student Council, proposed its constitution. Under article 1.1 the purpose of the Student Council was to promote, establish and maintain a balanced program of social, cultural and recreational activities with the purpose of developing a sense of pride and school spirit among the students. Its purpose was also to act as an agent for communication between the Administration of the College, the general public and other post-secondary institutions.

The executive committee at that time consisted of the following:

Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary-Treasurer, Social Convenor, Intramural Convenor, Two Consultants, and Class Representatives

Eventually the Chair and Vice-Chair became President and Vice-President, respectively. Positions were divided, added and removed in an effort to create an effective team of students. Today, we have a full-time staff member, General Manager, who manages our daily operations and finances; a Vice President Communications, who deals with our various publications and media relations; a Vice President Student-Life, who organizes activites and student groups; and a President who oversees the executive team and also acts as the face of the association. The Class Representatives now sit on General Council with our Board Rep.

Since its inception, the Student Association of Keyano College has added Leadership and Advocacy to its mandate, while continuing to mediate communication and promote social activites.
