Dear Humber Community, 

To honour Emma-Lee and her memory, we will be lowering the flags at the college to half-mast on December 19 at 1 p.m. instead of December 20, as previously planned. This change is due to Humber Polytechnic closing on December 19 end of day. The gesture serves as a symbol of our respect for Emma-Lee and the impact she had on our Humber community during her time with us. 

We recognize that grief is a difficult and personal experience. If you are an employee in need of support or are supporting someone who needs assistance, please reach out to someone close to you, your Manager or Associate Dean, or access the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) directly at 1.844.880.9142.

For learners seeking support, please reach out to Counselling services with Student Wellness and Equitable Learning by contacting swac@humber.ca. Alternatively, if at any time a learner needs immediate personal support or counseling, you can access the Good2Talk Helpline at 1.866.925.5454, or use Therapy Assist Online, which provides online tools. 

Once again, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Emma-Lee.  

Sincerely,  

Ian Crookshank 
Associate Vice-President, Learner and Career Success & Dean of Students
