Humber Polytechnic Connections

Humber Polytechnic is one of three partners that jointly founded and manage the Humber Arboretum, along with the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The Arboretum is part of the polytechnic's Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness.

Located directly behind the school's north campus, the Arboretum helps to enhance learning opportunities and increase wellness for staff and students alike.
