Humber’s diversity and willingness to help those in need has always been a key part our culture.

Our North Campus residence will be used this summer to help new refugee claimants have safe and supportive temporary housing. We expect that approximately 400 refugee claimants will be staying in residence from June until August, with the first group arriving on June 1.

The City of Toronto has partnered with the Red Cross to support the accommodation of many refugee claimants, and representatives from each organization are likely to be onsite daily. There may be opportunities for us to connect refugee claimants to our some of our programs and services while they are on campus.

We will share more information as it becomes available. This is a special opportunity for Humber to give back to the community and make a difference in the lives of these individuals.
