Humber Polytechnic is transforming its Lakeshore Campus into a destination for arts and culture through the development of the Humber Cultural Hub. The Cultural Hub will be a catalyst for building the next generation of artistic, cultural and creative leaders. It will inspire creativity, support a connected community, encourage public appreciation of the arts and offer world-class film, media and performance facilities. Providing much-needed capacity to meet the growing demand for skilled talent in creative industries and delivering important benefits to culturally underserviced local communities, the Cultural Hub will attract businesses, create jobs, enrich the economy and cultivate new audiences for the arts.

Humber Polytechnic is located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok, the “Place of the Alders” in Michi Saagiig language, the region is uniquely situated along Humber River watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples between the Ontario Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. Now home to people of numerous nations, Adoobiigok continues to provide a vital source of interconnection for all.
