Humber Employee Holiday Party 2025

Thank you to all the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber faculty, staff, and students that helped plan and facilitate the annual Humber Employee Holiday Party this year. Your efforts helped create a welcoming space that brought our staff and their loved ones together to connect and share in the holiday spirit. 

This year, we welcomed over 320 staff and their families, collected a generous amount of donated non-perishable food items and new/unwrapped toys, and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from staff and their families. Your contribution played a huge role in creating a fun and memorable experience for the Humber community.  

Thank you to the following faculties and departments for organizing and leading engaging workshops and activities and contributing their time, effort, and resources to make this event a success!
