As part of Humber’s official Photo Identification Policy, all users of the North Campus and Lakeshore Athletic facilities will now be required to upload a photo to their ONECard (Avro Mobile) profile to maintain access to gyms, fitness spaces and athletics facilities. This includes students and staff of Humber. Humber ONECard (Avro Mobile) is now the only accepted method for entering; Lenel will no longer be accepted for access at the Lakeshore Athletic facilities.

This update supports Humber’s commitment to safety and secure access in high-traffic and higher-risk areas.

Deadline to upload: Sunday, September 21, 2025
Enforcement begins: Monday, September 22, 2025
Upload link: humber.ca/onecard/myphoto.html

Why This Is Required

In accordance with the Photo Identification Policy, individuals may be required by a duly authorized Humber or Guelph-Humber official to present photo identification via ONECard at any time, including:

“To access campus or enter a secure/controlled campus area”
(Photo Identification Policy, Section 2 – Use)
https://humber.ca/legal-and-risk-management/policies/general-administration/photo-identification-policy.html

Athletics facilities meet this criterion due to:

• Controlled entry via access gates
• High volume of student, staff, and community use
• Supervised physical activity with elevated risk levels

In emergency situations (e.g., medical events), having a verified photo on file supports our Emergency Action Plan (EAP) by enabling quick, accurate identification and coordination with Public Safety Health Care Personnel and, if required, Emergency Services

What Users Need to Do:

Option 1:

• Visit humber.ca/onecard/myphoto.html
• Upload a passport-style photo and government-issued ID for one-time verification
• Approval is typically completed within 24 hours

After September 21, individuals without an approved photo will be denied access at the gate. Athletics Staff will not be able to override the system.

Option 2:

Users can also visit the IT Support Desks at the North Campus and Lakeshore Campus which are located beside the Campus Bookstores at each campus.

Want to help keep Humber cleaner and greener? Humber’s Office of Sustainability is here to support you! Through our new Campus Cleanup Toolkit, students, staff, and faculty can easily organize their own campus cleanups - on their own schedule.

We will provide essential supplies like gloves and bags, as well as the option to borrow garbage pickers to make your cleanup safer and more effective. You’ll also receive guidance on proper waste sorting and disposal to ensure your efforts are sustainable and impactful.

How to get started:

1. Decide if you’re cleaning up solo or with a team
2. Get in touch with the Office of sustainability at sustainability@humber.ca
3. Provide the Office of Sustainability with the necessary group/event information, and let us if you’d like to borrow any pickers
4. Pick up your materials and make a difference!

Cleanups are important because they promote a healthy, safe, and welcoming environment, while also contributing to a positive impact on the local environment. Our latest spring campus resulted in over 30 pounds of waste collected between both North and Lakeshore campuses!

Hosting a cleanup can be a fun group activity for students, as well as a great team bonding opportunity for staff or faculty. Additionally, the outcomes of your cleanup can be shared further with the Humber community.

Let’s all take collective action to protect our campus environment and become stewards of the land we learn and work on.

Pen recycling is back at Humber!

Help us divert waste from landfill by collecting and placing used writing instruments into Terracycle recycling bins. 

Here's how it works: 

• Collect your pens, mechanical pencils, markers, or highlighters once they are no longer usable. If you write with it, it can be collected for recycling.
• Place them into the Terracycle collection bins located on campus.
• Spread the word and encourage your colleagues and students to do the same.

Collection stations: 

• North Campus - just outside of Ignite, KX202
• Lakeshore Campus - next to Student Life, Wel 2nd floor

If you have a previously used small pen collection box in your office, feel free to keep those with you and empty them out into the larger bins once full.
