The Campus Bookstores are OPEN for the Winter 2022 Term and offering an online shopping experience as well as in-store shopping to provide students and the Humber community with one stop convenience. Students can purchase everything from their course materials to the supplies such as notebooks, paper, writing instruments, calculators, etc. to aid in their studies on or off campus. 

Our stores will be closed from December 24th, 2021 until January 3rd, 2022.

Students can still place their orders online North Campus Store or Lakeshore Campus Store.

Orders will be filled and shipped week beginning Jan.4th, 2022 to students' homes or to an address of their choice. If an item is not available in our store, that order will be sent to another Campus Store within our chain for fulfillment. Delivery time for these will be 4-6 days.

To provide contactless service, online order pick up will be handled at the window outside the store (Window in the Wall) at the North Campus.

For updated information on Store News & Hours, please visit North Campus Store and Lakeshore Campus Store.  

We will continue to provide both print and digital options for as many courses as possible. Please note that not all publisher's materials are available to the Campus Bookstore in a digital format. Digital delivery (access code) distribution can vary from providing an access code online to providing a printed code card for physical delivery.  

Please take a moment to read our FAQs for answers to our most received inquiries.   

Your patience is much appreciated during these unprecedented times. At both the campus stores, we're giving everybody lots of room practicing physical/social distancing, washing our hands, wearing masks and gloves as well as regularly sanitizing common areas of each store. 

Thank you.

While hybrid working arrangements are being considered, it may be the first time for many people working in a hybrid working arrangement. A hybrid working arrangement means that on any given day, team members may be working on campus, remotely, and on different work schedules.  

To prepare managers and employees for hybrid working arrangements, detailed training sessions have been developed to support employees and managers in the transition to hybrid working arrangements.  

There are multiple dates for all training sessions in January and February 2022. Please review the Hybrid Work Training Calendar, select the date and time that works best for you, and register for the sessions you are interested in. 

Each training session has a maximum number of participants, but additional sessions will be scheduled based on demand. 

If you have any questions about the training, please contact oe@humber.ca. 

Each December, the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness typically donates non-perishable food, health & hygiene, and household items in support of Ernestine's Women's Shelter.

As campus access is still limited, we are supporting this important community partner through monetary donations again this year, and have set-up a Canada Helps page with a goal of raising $2,000. Thanks to the generosity of the Humber community, we are already close - please help bring us to the finish line!

The holiday season can bring with it added stress and anxiety for survivors of gender-based violence, and your donations will help ensure that Ernestine's can continue to provide support to all the women and children in the shelter and out in the community. 

If you have the means, please take a moment to contribute what you can (tax receipts are provided). Every little helps!

Please visit our Canada Helps Page before January 1, 2022, to donate.

Thank you in advance!

Your friends in the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness.

What We Do

Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter is a community-based feminist organization run by women that provides support and shelter for women and children escaping abuse and violence. Ernestine’s is a 32-bed emergency shelter with 14 private bedrooms.

We provide a home for the women and their children – who stay with us from six months to over one year – until we find appropriate housing for them. During their stay, we provide them with all the necessities they might need (new bedding, clothes, school supplies, toiletries, baby supplies, prescriptions not covered by OHIP, loaded Presto cards, and anything else they might need). 

In the last year, Ernestine’s provided shelter and support to 52 adults and 33 children, who called Ernestine’s their home.

In addition to shelter clients, we support over 600 women and children from across the GTA through our Outreach Program. We provide counselling services and programs as well as access to the shelter’s on-site donation rooms and food bank to our Outreach clients. 

In 2020, Ernestine’s offered lifelines to 269 adults and 355 children in the community through our Outreach Programs. In the same year, 252 adults and 344 children were serviced as a result of the 735 times Ernestine’s food support services were accessed. This is a 70% increase in number of families who received food support. 

We provide a range of holistic services to our shelter and Outreach clients. Our services and programs include 24-hour crisis assistance, individual and group-based counselling support, Child & Youth programs, as well as legal, housing, and immigration support and advocacy. 

Since we opened our doors in 1983, we have supported over 15,000 women and children.

The College Employer Council has posted Management Bargaining Update December 17 on its website.
