Coming to the Lakeshore Grounds on May 6, 2024, the Interpretive Centre is excited to announce "Patterns and Parallels: The Great Imperative to Survive", on loan from the Roberta Bondar Foundation.

"Patterns and Parallels" features photography from Dr. Roberta Bondar, the first female Canadian astronaut, to tell the story of the migratory patterns of three bird species: the Whooping Crane, Lesser Flamingo and Piping Plover. The exhibition is a key part of the Roberta Bondar Foundation’s Space For Birds project, which uses photography to create a visual story that will help us understand the biodiversity of nature and the impact of human actions and climate change on bird migration and habitat loss.

"Patterns & Parallels: The Great Imperative to Survive" will be on display from May 6 to July 26, 2024 at The Fashion Institute at 3166 Lake Shore Blvd W. in Etobicoke.

Pictured is "Colt & Parent," a photograph of an endangered Whooping Crane adult stretching its wing as it stands with its young colt on the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge along the edge of the Texas shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.

Due to the upcoming long weekend, Food Services will have reduced hours.

Regular hours of operation will resume on Monday, April 1, 2024.

Sunday, March 31 marks the Transgender Day of Visibility. It is an opportunity to raise awareness of trans, non-binary and two-spirit people and to celebrate them. This day was founded by trans advocate Rachel Crandall, head of Transgender Michigan, in 2009. It was created so that we should shift the view of trans people from the negative stereotypes and issues faced by the community to celebrate their lives, contributions and to empower them to live authentically.

We at the 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) show our support for our trans colleagues and students. If Humber can create a community where all of our trans students and colleagues feel that they can come out and live their lives fully, we will make Humber stronger and more accepting for everyone. For this Transgender Day of Visibility, we encourage all of our 2SLGBTQ+ allies to develop concrete steps to make their work spaces and classrooms more accepting to the full gender diversity of the Humber community.

As part of that commitment, we invite allies of the 2SLGBTQ+ community at Humber to join our Allies Mailing List. If you have any questions about the 2SLGBTQ+ ERG or this message, please contact matthew.harris@humber.ca or yanni.thepanya@humber.ca.

Humber College is excited to announce its new project to support the skills development in key economic sectors of Kenya's blue economy. Funded by the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan), Humber will partner with three institutions in Siaya County, Kenya, to deliver skills training programs under the Kenya Blue Economy Skills Training (KBEST-05) Institutional Partnership. Situated in the Lake Region of Kenya, Humber's partners include Bondo Technical Training Institute, Lucy Onono Vocational Training Centre, and Mahaya Vocational Training Centre.

The three-year (2024-2027) initiative will focus on developing and delivering gender-responsive and industry-relevant competency-based education and training curriculum and pedagogy in blue economy skills areas to tap into Siaya County's economic potential in areas including fisheries, tourism, marine transport, aquaculture, and renewable energy. KBEST aims to create industry linkages and pathways for internships and jobs and provide women, youth, and vulnerable populations with the knowledge and skills for employment and self-employment in the blue economy while preserving and maintaining our oceans for future generations.
