Humber College has been a generous supporter of the United Way for many years. As most of us know, United Way is a great organization that fights poverty by meeting immediate needs of our neighbours through food, shelter, and mental health supports, while also using research, advocacy, and partnerships to change the systems that cause inequity.

United Way will be reaching out this month via email to talk about their 2023 campaign. The first email was sent out earlier today so if you haven’t seen it – take another look in your inbox!

In addition, the traditional CN Tower Climb is also back this year on Saturday, October 21 and Sunday, October 22. Humber’s Paramedic Program already has a team in place. Learn more if you are interested in joining the team or donating in support of the team. For more information, you can contact Craig MacCalman, Program Coordinator, Paramedic at craig.maccalman@humber.ca.

Also – save the date! The Annual Cycle for United Way (formerly known as the ‘Spin-a-thon’) is making its return! Join the third-semester students of the Fitness and Health Promotion program on Friday, December 1 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. This is a team event, so gather your crew, prepare to break a sweat, and have a blast together. Registration opens on November 1. For more information, contact Carmen Puyo or the team at ad.humbercycling@gmail.com.
