MacEwan University | March 16, 2023

MacEwan University officially announced a partnership with the Free Store for Ukrainian Newcomers and Firefighter Aid Ukraine, providing a larger space just north of MacEwan’s campus to house the store’s growing operations. By that point, the Free Store had already seen over 5,000 visits from Ukrainian newcomers, with all items donated by Albertans and local businesses and most volunteers being newcomers themselves.

The partnership went beyond just a building — MacEwan students got involved through work-integrated learning projects, conducting market research and creating social media content for Firefighter Aid Ukraine. “Community partnerships like this are so very important and are integral to MacEwan,” said university president Dr. Annette Trimbee.
