COVID-19 Cancellations and Closure

Access to the Humber Arboretum 

The Centre for Urban Ecology, along with all Humber College campuses, remain closed until further notice.

As with other public parks in Toronto, the grounds of the Humber Arboretum are open for visitors to walk/run and to make use of picnic tables and other seating (fitness equipment along the West Humber Trail remains off-limits until further notice). However as the City of Toronto website specifies:

"Provincial orders and the City bylaw on physical distancing remain in effect, requiring people who are not from the same household to maintain a physical distance of two metres in a park or public square.

Gatherings of more than five people who are not members of a single household are not permitted by provincial order."

Also please note that while the Humber Arboretum's trails and natural areas remain open, they will not be maintained until further notice. Please use your discretion, as you are entering at your own risk.

Events and Activities

All in-person events and activities at the Humber Arboretum are suspended for the summer. This includes the difficult decision to cancel our summer nature camps for 2020.

In place of in-person events, the Humber Arboretum is offering educational and nature connection opportunities through our new Grow Anywhere - Virtual Learning content. Explore videos, articles, and printable resources created and curated by our educational staff and partners.

Three of the Sustainable Urban Beekeeping courses which usually take place in the classroom are being offered as online courses through Zoom. 

Contacting the Humber Arboretum

Humber Arboretum office staff are working from home. Please be patient if you experience longer than average wait times for responses. Email is the preferred method of communication at this time - arboretum@humber.ca
