Sport and Wellness

MacEwan students, employees and Sport and Wellness members can support MacEwan University at Corporate Challenge 2022. Roll up your sleeves, save lives and earn points for MacEwan with the Blood Donor Challenge. When you make a donation until June 4, tell them you're with MacEwan University by giving them the code MACE000397 and improve the lives of many Canadians. You can also Ride for Heart from May 15 until June 11 for Heart & Stroke. This virtual event lets you convert physical activity to KMs and not only helps MacEwan but Edmonton compete against Calgary! Track your activity with the Ride for Heart App. You can also raise pledges or donate to Heart & Stroke and fund lifesaving research by using the code 2861917.

Blood Pressure Clinics – Ride for Heart Corporate Challenge

As part of the Ride for Heart Corporate Challenge, we will be hosting three Blood Pressure clinics. Did you know that 33-53% of people with high blood pressure (hypertension) don’t know they have it? High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for stroke and a major risk factor for heart disease. Take this opportunity to check your blood pressure and know your numbers.

BP Clinics will be on the following days and locations:

• Mon, May 16 @ 1:30-3 p.m. in 9-200Z (Robbins)
• Tue, May 17 @ 10-11:30 a.m. in 6-157 (Griffin’s Landing)
• Wed, May 18 @ 12-1:30 p.m. in 8-208 (across from Tim Hortons)

Stop by and take care of your heart health!
