Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to the principles of human rights, equity, inclusion and belonging. Last weekend, September 15-17, and this coming Sunday and Monday, September 24-25 marks Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, respectively. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Together, they are known as the Jewish High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah celebrations are noted by eating apples and honey to wish the community a sweet and healthy New Year, and the blowing of the Shofar, a ram’s horn, to signify when the Jewish people received the Torah. Yom Kippur is a day of fasting, prayer, reflection and forgiveness with members of the Jewish community asking to be inscribed into the Book of Life.

Many Humber students, faculty and staff will be participating in Yom Kippur along with Jewish people around the world. 

The Humber community is encouraged to learn more about the High Holidays. 

Please be mindful that students, faculty and staff may require accommodations such as time off or extensions to participate in Yom Kippur. If you have questions regarding the duty to accommodate based on religion, please contact Jason Seright, vice-president, Inclusion and Belonging, at jason.seright@humber.ca. 

On behalf of the Inclusion and Belonging portfolio, People(s) and Culture, and Student Success & Engagement, we wish the members of the Jewish community a sweet New Year and all the best on Yom Kippur.

Dear colleagues, 

We understand that the evolving situation between the governments of Canada and India has left some of our staff and students concerned about potential impacts on them. Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber work to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for our community no matter where they come from.  

Students from around the world come to Humber to receive a world-class education from our instructors, many of whom also come from abroad and have close connections around the globe. 

We are monitoring the ongoing situation between Canada and India. Humber will continue to communicate with you as the situation evolves and we commit to ensuring that you have accurate information as quickly as possible. 

We are also closely watching any potential impacts on our instructors and staff, who may be working on programs and recruitment initiatives within India. 

The Humber community supports the many students and employees at Humber with direct and indirect ties to India, and we will continue to foster a safe and inclusive environment and support students and employees who are impacted by this ongoing situation. 

We are here to provide support to students and staff who may need it. If students ask you about available supports, please direct them to the list below. Staff are encouraged to access the Employee Assistance Plan services or to connect with their manager for support as needed. 

• For counselling, students can contact the Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre for support.    
• GoodToTalk (1-866-925-5454) is a 24-hour mental health support for Post-Secondary Students in Ontario.  
• Wellness Together Canada offers free multi-lingual supports and short-term counselling.     
• Therapy Assist Online.   

Students can also reach out for support through the International Centre at the North (Second Floor, LRC) and Lakeshore (H100A) campuses and through the support hubs at the International Graduate School (IGS). If you are looking for a space to pause and reflect, please feel free to visit the Spirituality and Wellness Centre at the North Campus in LRC 2112, the prayer room in HB102 at Lakeshore or the multipurpose room at the IGS. 

One of the things that makes Humber great is the diversity of our learners and the value that their perspectives bring to our classrooms. We encourage the Humber community to continue to support one another. 

Be well and take care, 

Jennifer O’Brien 
Vice-President, People(s) and Culture
