Humber professor Daniel Bear is leading the research project/study on “Engaging and Educating Young-Adult Cannabis 2.0 Consumers”, as the Principal Investigator, in partnership with local community organizations The Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) and Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy (CSSDP).

With funding through Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Daniel gathered important quantitative research on developing cannabis education resources and partnered with Humber’s Bachelor of Creative Advertising on how best to market those materials to have the biggest potential impact.

The Osler-Humber College COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic has opened designated appointments for Humber and UofGH staff and students on Monday, July 26, Tuesday, July 27 and Thursday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

If you are interested in receiving your first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer), please email tyler.charlebois@humber.ca with the following information:

  • First and Last name
  • Contact Number
  • Email 
  • Date of Birth

If you book an appointment elsewhere, please email Tyler to cancel so your spot may be allotted to another community member. 

The clinic is located on the main floor of the University of Guelph-Humber and anyone coming to campus for this purpose must enter through the UofGH main entrance.

Appointments at the clinic may still be made on other dates and times prior to July 26 and can also be booked online through Osler’s website or by phone at 905-494-6685.

To date, the clinic has administered more than 35,000 vaccines. As we exit the third wave of the pandemic, COVID-19 admissions continue to decrease, vaccination rates in our communities continue to rise, and as community vaccination clinics remain readily available, Osler will begin to ramp down vaccine clinic operations. As a result, effective August 6, 2021, the Osler-Humber Clinic will close.

Thank you to all of the students, staff and volunteers for their efforts to get our community vaccinated.

Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility:

  • ALS’s Best Practice Considerations through the Communiqué this semester have focused on equipping faculty to better support their students with disabilities. An important part of our role in ALS is to empower students to take an active role in the accommodation process.

  • For example, students with disabilities registered with ALS are responsible for renewing their Accommodation Letter each semester and contacting faculty to request accommodations in advance of a test or assignment deadline.

  • In addition, students are expected to follow guidelines around requesting assignment extensions, taking a reduced course load, using a memory aid and other accommodations.

  • We encourage faculty to be engaged in constructive conversations around accommodations with your students.

Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities.

Please email us at accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for key accessibility-related topics that you would like us to address through the Communiqué.
