The Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre (SWAC) is offering flu immunizations for Humber College and Guelph-Humber faculty, staff and students who are working or learning on campus.

All individuals will be screened prior to entering the clinic and will need to wait for 15 minutes after their vaccination for observation. 

North Campus Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre is currently fully booked up for flu immunizations, however more spots will open up in the weeks to come.

For individuals looking for a walk-in option, the Lakeshore Campus Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre (Lakeshore Humber Welcome Centre, second floor) is currently offering flu immunizations on a walk-in basis for the remainder of November, while supplies last.

Hours for walk-in flu shot at Lakeshore Campus

Monday to Friday
9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information, email the Health Centre at swac@humber.ca.

Please note: flu shots are also widely available across the province. If you are looking for a flu shot closer to home, please check with your local pharmacy.

We are aware that the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the union representing Ontario school board workers, has announced their intention to begin a strike on Monday, November 21 if a deal with the provincial government isn’t achieved as of Sunday, November 20.

As of November 18, various School Boards, including Toronto District, Toronto Catholic District, Peel District School Board, York Region District, York Region Catholic District have announced that they would close schools to in-person learning IF a strike occurs on Monday. Some Boards have not yet announced final plans.

As each board’s plans may be different, please check with your local school board to find out what their plans are and how you and your family may be affected.

While Humber classes and operations will continue as scheduled, we understand that employees and students with school-aged children may need to explore childcare options and adjust their regular routines.

For staff whose ability to complete their regular workday either in-person or remotely is affected because of a school closure, please speak to your manager. Faculty members should contact their associate dean.

We know that an interruption to the regular school schedule may be challenging as people make alternative childcare arrangements. Please reach out to your manager/associate dean should you require alternative arrangements for completing your work.

As is the case with missing any class, we will be informing students that they need to contact their professor and are responsible for speaking with them if they need to request alternative arrangements for completing coursework.

Dear Humber employees,  

As we approach the holidays, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all members of the Humber community.  

Your continued hard work and dedication to our students is inspiring and has contributed to Humber’s success. Since joining Humber College at the end of August, I have had the opportunity to meet many students and employees and I hope to meet many more as time goes on. What has left the deepest impression on me so far is the strong sense of community at Humber and how everyone truly cares for each other's well-being. Thank you for welcoming me so warmly into this caring community. 

To recognize your dedication and show our appreciation, the college will officially close for our annual holiday break at the end of the business day on Thursday, December 22. Friday, December 23 is an Employee Appreciation Day, and I hope you will use the time away from the office to enjoy the season with your family and friends. The college will reopen on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. 

There will be business operations and pay considerations related to this closure and Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness will provide details on how to handle employee scheduling and time entries related to this closure to all managers. Employees can access key payroll calendar dates on this webpage. 

Thank you again for your dedication and commitment to student success. I wish you the very best this holiday season and look forward to welcoming you back in the new year. 

Ann Marie
