I am pleased to announce Quazance Boissoneau’s appointment as Acting Manager of Indigenous Education and Engagement (IE&E) as of June 1, 2020.

The Interim Manager will provide leadership for the breadth of services for Humber’s Indigenous community, provided through the IE&E. Services include the continued expansion of cultural and social support programs, community outreach, advising services, peer support services and the planning of various cultural events on campus. The Interim Manager will develop, maintain and operationalize services that reflect the College’s commitment to the Indigenous Education Protocol.  

An Anishinaabekwe from Garden River First Nation, Quazance has worked as the Aboriginal Liaison Officer at Humber College since Fall 2013. Quickly hired on full time in early 2014, she has lead the College in strategic communications with First Nation communities and leveraged Humber’s brand identity by attending Indigenous sporting events and conferences across the province and nationally. Through her marketing campaigns, she has built relationships and partnerships with stakeholders to advance Humber and the department’s brand recognition.

Quazance is a 2018 graduate from Carleton University's Public Policy and Administration Post-Graduate Diploma Program where she specialized in Indigenous Policy and Administration. Prior to studying public policy and administration, she studied business and marketing at both the University and Collegiate level. In 2013, she graduated from George Brown College with a Graduate Certificate in Sports and Event Marketing. A former varsity athlete, she graduated in 2012 from Algoma University specializing in Public Administration and Human Resources. Quazance is an advocate for Indigenous mental health and physical wellness. Her emphasis is on advancing Indigenous youth through sport and education. In her work, she strives to promote balanced lifestyles for Indigenous people living in two-worlds.
