From the President: Gary Mar to become MacEwan University’s second chancellor

MacEwan Today

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.

The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our inherent responsibility to protect and respect Mother Earth. With this acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and children who have been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and men, and the process of ongoing collective healing for all human beings. We are reminded that we are all treaty people and of the responsibility we have to one another.

I’m pleased to announce that Gary Mar will join MacEwan University as our second chancellor.

In addition to Gary’s experience as a government and business leader, he currently is the president and CEO of the Canada West Foundation. Throughout his career he has been a champion of our city, our province and our country, and will be a strong ambassador for our institution.

Please join me in welcoming Gary Mar to MacEwan University, and take a few minutes to learn more about him on MacEwan.ca.

Sincerely,
Dr. Annette Trimbee
President and Vice-Chancellor, MacEwan University
