Employee Appreciation Day is tomorrow, March 7!

Thank you to all our faculty and staff members for the dedication you bring to your work and the support you provide to colleagues and students. Your efforts are the most important ingredient in Humber’s success, and without your commitment, our students wouldn’t have the same amazing opportunities to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve invited you to recognize colleagues across Humber who go above and beyond—and with this special milestone taking place tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to show your gratitude with a special gift.

By honouring a colleague with an extra special donation today, you will recognize their outstanding work while giving back to Humber students. Your support will mark this already meaningful day with generosity, gratitude and lasting impact, whether by directly supporting your faculty or department or choosing to make a difference through one of our other priorities, including: 

• Supporting scholarships, bursaries and emergency funds—Gift a Humber education to students in need, helping them stay on track as they pursue their passions and bright future. 
• Fighting student food insecurity— Provide direct subsidies to help students access food on campus while bolstering Humber’s efforts to conquer food insecurity. 
• Empowering students in foster care—Help students in foster care (or “extended society care”) overcome their unique financial challenges while showing them we believe in their success. 

Plus, when you celebrate a coworker for Employee Appreciation Day, you can also choose to send your honouree a personalized e-card to let them know that your donation was made and how their work is appreciated. 

We wish you and your colleagues a wonderful Employee Appreciation Day tomorrow! May it be filled with celebration and appreciation for all the incredible work you do—today and every day.

The Lakeshore Fitness Centre will be closed Thursday, March 6 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. due to water shut down for a City of Toronto hydrant repair.

This is a reminder for important upcoming dates on the Quick Reference Table of Year-end Deadlines.

Requests for new fund/org codes or reporting hierarchy changes required for the new fiscal year should be submitted no later than the above date to your Finance Liaison. No new or change requests will be processed in Banner during the period from April 1 to May 9, 2025 as the team will be focused on year-end audit and external reporting activities.

Accounts Receivable Request to Invoice – Friday, March 21, 2025

All requests to invoice external vendors for the current fiscal year activities must be made by submitting a Request to Invoice form to accounts.receivable@humber.ca by the above date. Please take note of the above important dates and reach out if you have any questions.

Broader Public Sector (BPS) organizations, including Humber Polytechnic, are required to use existing Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangements whenever possible and appropriate to ensure compliance with the BPS Directives and Provincial Government initiatives. Updated links to the OECM, Supply Ontario, Government of Canada and Humber VOR lists are available on the finance website at www.humber.ca/finance.

We ask the Humber community to consult these VOR lists before initiating any new procurement requests. Utilizing an established VOR to procure new goods or services helps lower costs and streamline the procurement process. The chosen VOR can be noted on the Humber Invitational Procurement Evaluation Form when submitting the evaluation for approval.

If you need further assistance or are unable to find what you’re looking for, please reach out to Purchasing at sourcing@humber.ca or complete the Procurement Intake eForm.
