A poster that asks people to participate in cannabis research if they are over 18 and live in Canada, and consume cannabis.

Help evaluate the new Weed Out Misinformation cannabis education campaign built with the help of students from FSCS and FMCA, by completing the evaluation survey, sharing with friends, or sharing with your students. 

The Weed Out Misinformation Campaign was built by listening to cannabis consumers, budtenders, and public health experts. Their guidance was used by FMCA students in the Bachelor of Creative Advertising to build a new cannabis education campaign free of stigma and focused on harm reduction principles. The project has successfully been deployed in many Canadian retail cannabis stores, and now it's time to evaluate the effectiveness of the materials. Your help completing and sharing the survey would be greatly appreciated. 

Participants must:

  • Be 18 years old or above
  • Live in Canada
  • Have previously consumed cannabis

The survey takes approximately 14 minutes to complete (including time reviewing the materials), and after completing the survey, you can register for a chance to win one of five $100 gift cards. 

If you're interested in posting information about the survey on Blackboard or social media, please contact Dr. Daniel Bear for additional graphics and survey information.

All full-time and non-full-time employees are invited to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ).

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to workplace equity, diversity and inclusion. Employment Equity is a term used in Canada to describe a process for achieving equality in all aspects of employment. Humber complies voluntarily with the Employment Equity Act under the Federal Contractors Program.

The information that you provide in the EEQ will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification.

Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation is essential in accurately identifying where underrepresentation exists and allows for targeted efforts toward removing barriers and addressing that underrepresentation.

The Goal of Employment Equity is to:

  • eliminate employment barriers for the designated groups: Indigenous people, women, persons with disabilities, and members of racialized groups. At Humber, we provide individuals with the opportunity to identify their sexual orientation and gender identity.
  • remedy past discrimination in employment opportunities and prevent future barriers;
  • improve access and distribution throughout all occupations and at all levels for members of the identified groups; and
  • foster a climate of equity and inclusion

View more information on the People(s) and Culture webpage.

Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.

How can I access the Employment Equity Questionnaire?

Employees can access the EEQ directly in the HRMS by following the steps below:

  • Go to http://hrs.humber.ca
  • Click on HRMS Sign In
  • Enter your Humber credentials to sign in
  • Click on Personal Information
  • Click on Personal Details
  • Expand the section titled Biographical Info
  • Click on the pencil icon to add/update your responses to the EEQ
  • The steps are also listed in the HRMS Knowledge Base website titled View and Update Personal Information.

If you require the EEQ in an alternate format or have any questions, please contact humanrights@humber.ca.

Thank you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber and UGH.

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber, recognizes the increased use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems – RPAS (commonly referred to as “drones”) for recreational, commercial, educational and research purposes. In an effort to ensure safe operation of RPAS in compliance with Transport Canada regulations, the college has approved a new policy and procedure document outlining the requirements for RPAS/drone use at any campus location (indoors and outdoors). The policy and procedure will be administered by the Department of Public of Safety.

If you are planning to fly an RPAS anywhere on campus, you need to familiarize yourself with the requirements of the policy and to follow all the procedures outlined in the documents posted online.

Thank you for your cooperation.
