MacEwan University's mace does have fairly special significance despite not being the traditional ornate mace most universities have.
"MacEwan University’s mace is especially meaningful to our institution as it was hand-carved by our namesake, Dr. J.W. Grant MacEwan, who presented it to Dr. Paul Byrne upon his installation as university president in 1997. It was chosen as the institution’s official mace in 2008."
