Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.

To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity program, please visit the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion website.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion invites all full-time and non-full-time employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). 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 will allow the College to identify where underrepresentation exists, and to target its efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in the College’s employment systems.

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 titled, View and Update Personal Information.
  • If you require the EEQ in an alternate format, please contact Patricia Suleiman at patricia.suleiman@humber.ca

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.

Project Success Story - Design and Simulate Leaf Guard to Improve Drainage Capability

A Humber College research team is working on the project “Design and Simulate Leaf Guard to Improve Drainage Capability” to improve the efficiency of rainwater conservation and drainage capability. The research project is led by Principal Investigator Hamid Dehkordi, a professor in the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology (FAST).  

The Humber research team is collaborating with industry partner NEEB Engineering for the project. The main challenges in this project are to design a new leaf guard profile to optimize water capture and drainage capability for NEEB Engineering’s rainwater harvesting system.  

NEEB Engineering has developed a rainwater harvesting system to address water conservation challenges and satisfy the growing trend for sustainable technologies in the building construction sector. 

The research team received the NSERC Engage grant ($25k) for the research project.

The Math & Writing Centre (MWC) has a new website.

Please let returning students know that we are no longer using WCOnline for our tutoring services. We are now using the same platform as PALS, called Upswing. Students can book a tutor by logging into https://humber.upswing.io.

For students to book with the MWC tutors rather than PALS, they need to select as their course “General Math Support” for math tutors and “General Writing Support” for writing tutors.

Students who are accustomed to submitting assignments for asynchronous review will need to follow the link on our website for Written Feedback.

Students can contact us by visiting our Virtual Front Desk at or by emailing us at mathcentre@humber.ca or writingcentre@humber.ca.
