The UPEI Healthy Campus Committee is pleased to announce Wellness Week: Together We Thrive, running from November 17 to November 20, 2026. Designed to cultivate physical, mental, and social well-being of students, staff, and faculty across campus, the week presents a series of themed days that encourage connection, healthy nutrition, active movement, and school spirit.

The festivities kick off on Tuesday, November 17, with “Make n’ Mingle,” a day centred on creative expression, stress relief, and social bonding. Taking place from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on the second floor of the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, this drop-in event requires no registration and invites students, faculty, and staff to take a mental break together. Attendees can write positive messages on an affirmations board, practice mindfulness through mandala painting, enjoy colouring, or spend time knitting and crocheting. A highlight of the day is a hands-on floral embroidery session, where participants are encouraged to bring a sweater, hat, or fabric item to learn how to add custom embroidered flowers to give their personal belongings a unique touch.
