As we continue to work and learn at home, it’s important to stay connected to our colleagues and our community. To help keep us all connected, we created the #HumberAtHome series. We want to know about how you are taking care of your well-being right now, how your teams are adding a bit of fun into your interactions, and which resources are helping you.  

Here are some examples of what members of the Humber community are doing to bring their community together:

Tanya Olsen, Horticulture professor, says that getting in the garden is a great way to not only enjoy yourself but maintain the social distancing that is currently required. A little work now will pay off down the road. She suggests to start to do garden clean-ups gently. Removing too many leaves before the soil warms up means you run the risk of eliminating the pollinator eggs, which you need to fertilize your lawn, veggies and plants later.

Tyler Charlebois, Manager, Strategic Partnerships, participated in The Ontario Chamber of Commerce Roundtable this week with Ross Romano, Minister of Colleges and Universities. It was a great dialogue on how Ontario’s post-secondary education sector and Ontario’s business community can collaborate to support the recovery post COVID-19.
