As we move through fiscal year-end planning and in light of revised budgets and increased budget pressures across the institution, ITS is asking all departments to carefully review and prioritize only critical and non-deferrable service asset purchases such as laptops and iPads.

When submitting purchase requests, please consider the following:

  • What is critical to your operations this fiscal year and the impact of not proceeding with the request.
  • Whether the purchase supports the needs of Humber’s students, faculty, and staff and aligns with the institution’s priorities.
  • Whether any devices are reaching an age or condition where replacement is necessary.

Requirements for Large Orders

  • Documented responses to the items above 
  • Approval from your VP

Timelines

To ensure approved orders can be processed within this fiscal year, please submit purchase requests by Friday, December 12, 2025.

Service asset purchases must be fully received by March 31, 2026 to be charged to the current year’s budget.

If you have any questions or require guidance, please contact Eva Ponce, Associate Director, Technology and Support, at eva.ponce@humber.ca.

Please join us in congratulating Simon Ibbotson for his retirement. After 40 years at Humber, Simon will be retiring from his Mailroom Clerk position at the end of December 2025. He started in 1986 at North Campus as HRT Receiving clerk and has held several positions since, including Bookstore receiver, HRT Receiving Coordinator, Food Services Purchaser, General Receiver at Lakeshore Campus until joining North Campus Mailroom in 2011.

Simon is an outstanding member of the Capital Development and Facilities Management team. His commitment, dedication and lasting contributions to his roles made a huge impact on our department and all our staff and students in our community. His unmatched passion and energy can be seen every day while delivering mail to all our offices. He takes customer service to a whole new level through his friendliness, approachability and positivity that lead him to knowing and forging a relationship with almost everyone on campus.

Simon will be greatly missed and it’s been a joy and privilege working with him. We wish Simon all the best in his well-deserved retirement as he exchanges his morning Humber mail run for longer walks with his dog and more time refereeing soccer games for youth in Toronto and Peel region.

We invite our community to share farewell notes and warm wishes through the digital e-card.

Nuit Blanche 2026 Call for Independent Projects Poster

Nuit Blanche Toronto returns to Humber Polytechnic's Lakeshore Campus for a fifth year on Saturday, October 3, 2026 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.!

Humber Galleries invites artists to submit their Independent Project proposals responding to the theme Tomorrow's Memories.

For the 20th anniversary of Nuit Blanche, the 2026 theme,Tomorrow's Memories, looks back to the artists, curators, communities and places that defined Nuit Blanche and hold its histories. This milestone edition offers both a reckoning and a reimagining, reflecting on not only where it has been, but on where it is now and where it might be going next.

Past Nuit Blanche artworks will be revisited, re-visioned and recontextualized while artists can also propose new works that consider personal and collective memory and histories as a tool for storytelling, reflection and dreaming of possible futures. Proposals may also explore ideas around memory itself, nostalgia and ephemerality.

The Humber Lakeshore Hub Independent Project program is open to all GTA-based professional artists, collectives and arts organizations as well as all Humber students, faculty, alumni and staff.

Apply at humbergalleries.ca

Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 31, 2026.

Candle light with names of victims of the École Polytechnique massacre.

Flags at all Humber Polytechnic will be flown at half-mast on December 6 to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. 

Gender-based and sexual violence and harassment have no place at Humber. Reflected in the various policies and practices at Humber Polytechnic, including the Sexual Violence Policy, Gender Diversity Policy, and Human Rights & Harassment Policy, is our commitment to combating both the hatred that led to the young women’s deaths, as well as the misogyny that continues to exist in our society today. 

On December 6, 1989, 14 young women at Polytechnique Montreal were murdered. This act of violent misogyny shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. Humber Polytechnic continues to mourn the loss of the 14 women and honour their memory. 

On December 6, we remember:

  • Geneviève Bergeron
  • Hélène Colgan
  • Nathalie Croteau
  • Barbara Daigneault
  • Anne-Marie Edward
  • Maud Haviernick
  • Maryse Laganière
  • Maryse Leclair
  • Anne-Marie Lemay
  • Sonia Pelletier
  • Michèle Richard
  • Annie St-Arneault
  • Annie Turcotte
  • Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz

Once again, Humber has proven its national leadership in applied research and industry collaboration, earning three top distinctions in Research Infosource’s annual ranking of Canada's Top 50 Research Colleges.

Humber was recognized in the top position in Canada in the category of “Industry Research Income”, placed second for “Research Partnerships”, and is the top research institution in the GTA for the second year in a row.

These achievements are powered by a diverse portfolio of applied research projects and nearly $11 million in funding. Humber's leadership in industry research income and partnerships highlights a clear path forward: deeper collaboration between post-secondary institutions and the private sector to unlock innovation, drive growth, and prepare a future-ready workforce — critical to solving Canada’s productivity challenge.

A heartfelt thank you to all faculty and staff who have engaged with industry partners on applied research projects. Your dedication and expertise make these accomplishments possible and position Humber as a national leader in research and innovation.
