As Ontario continues to grapple with the third wave of COVID-19, Humber has enhanced health and safety on campus. They include:

• Temperature checks at campus entryways (effective May 19 for the summer term) - Temperature checks will be performed by Public Safety staff upon entering campus. Public Safety staff will continue to check for completed self-screenings on the Humber Guardian app, or will provide an alternative format, as required. No personal information will be gathered as part of this new screening process. Anyone who is identified as having an elevated temperature (37.8°C or more) will be provided with information on next steps and directed to leave campus. Students who live in residence will not be screened upon entry to the Residence. However, they will be screened upon entry to other campus buildings. Contractors and employees will be screened upon entry to Residence.

• Enhanced Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - In the last few weeks, enhancements were made to the PPE used in programs within the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness. Going forward, similar changes will also be put in place for any classes or labs requiring partner work. In addition, PPE enhancements will be implemented for staff whose work requires them to be less than 6 feet/2 metres apart.

Also, as a new term gets underway, please review the information on when and how to report COVID-19.

If you are feeling unwell in any way, please do not come to campus. Health and safety are a shared responsibility, and we appreciate your ongoing support and cooperation.

As always, the latest information can be found on humber.ca/updates and HROE’s COVID-19 Resources website.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion (the Centre) engaged the Humber College community in a participatory and consultative process to obtain feedback on Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures in 2018. As a result, Humber launched the revised Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures in December 2018.

The Ontario Human Rights Commission requires that all employers provide ongoing education and training on the organization’s human rights policy. All Humber employees (full-time, non-full-time, work-study) are required to update their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures.

Goal of the workshop: Increase and reinforce Humber and University of Guelph-Humber employees’ understanding of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Humber’s Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures, and their implications for enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

Please note the following:

• All Humber employees who have attended a Humber Human Rights Training session prior to August 2018 are required to refresh their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures by undergoing an updated training.­­­
• The trainings listed in Section 1 and 2 below are the same training. There is no need to sign up for more than one training session.
• Registration space is limited. Please DO NOT sign up for more than one session in order to leave space for other registrants.
• To facilitate your attendance, Human Rights Training sessions will be offered through an Eventbrite online registration process available at the registration link below each session:

The following trainings in Section 2 are reserved for non-fulltime faculty.

We understand that non-fulltime faculty may experience scheduling challenges to attend a weekday human rights training session and for this reason, the Centre is also offering training sessions on Saturday mornings for non-fulltime faculty. Non-fulltime faculty may select from any of the training sessions in Section 1 as well.

The most updated schedule of the Pathways to Human Rights training sessions can be found online here.

Our 6th annual Advisor Training is fast approaching! This year's theme is A Way Forward: Advising Through Change. We look forward to having Faculty, Program Coordinators, Advisors, and Staff from all departments and academic faculties at Humber and Guelph-Humber join us to discuss, share, and learn about advising techniques, skills and issues that affect us all.

Registration is open! Check out our schedule of events, session details and spotlight on this year’s Keynote Speakers. We’ve also added Wellness Break sessions so we can practice some self-care throughout.
