Supporting Our Community During Challenging Times

Dear Humber community, 

Amidst ongoing global events, we know that many members of our community are personally affected by current and recent situations and activities and have family members and loved ones who are also impacted. We want to ensure that you know about the resources and support we have available to you. 

If you are personally impacted, please take care of yourself and speak with your manager if you need support or flexibility in the days ahead. We also encourage faculty to continue to demonstrate flexibility and understanding with their students who may be impacted. 

We continue to support students and employees who may need assistance during difficult times. We ask that staff who support students in their learning experience ensure they are aware of the following resources should they need them:
