To the Humber Community,

The College Employer Council has posted "Strike Continues after Union Ultimatum" on its site. 

Please Note: 

The College Employer Council (CEC) is the government mandated bargaining agent for the 24 Ontario publicly funded Colleges that negotiate collective agreements with unionized staff. This information is being distributed on behalf of the CEC.

We recognize that bargaining updates may contain strong language and reflect the perspectives of the parties involved. While the message above is a direct release from the CEC, our goal in sharing it is to keep our community informed of developments that may impact operations and the student experience.

We remain committed to respectful dialogue, transparency, and supporting all members of our campus community during this time. We will continue to provide updates as they become available and encourage everyone to stay informed through official channels.

Congratulations to all our employees celebrating career milestones in September!

The following employees are celebrating their 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25-year anniversary with Humber. We encourage you to reach out to your colleagues to congratulate them on their Career Milestones!

Although we do our best to ensure we don't miss anyone, sometimes it happens. If we have missed anyone on this list, our sincere apologies. Please let us know so we can correct our records and ensure the employee receives recognition.

As part of Humber’s commitment to delivering unparalleled student opportunities that prepare them for success in a global context— and in our role as an Official Toronto World Cup 2026^TM Host City Supporter—we are excited to announce that G Cottage at the Lakeshore Campus will be transformed into the FIFA World Cup 26^TM Volunteer Centre for Toronto, beginning this October and continuing through to post-tournament next August.  

To accommodate this exciting opportunity, the Longo Centre for Entrepreneurship (Longo CfE) and the Idea Lab will be temporarily relocated from G Cottage to the following locations at the Lakeshore Campus: 

• As of October 6, the Longo CfE will be moving to L3000.  

• The Idea Lab will be moving to H206 during the week of September 29. Photography will be supported through circulating camera kits; however, flash kits will not be available in the temporary studio space. Support for studio photography will be reinstated following the tournament. The podcast and music production studios will be combined into a single temporary audio recording space.  Watch the Communique and the Idea Lab website for updates on our reopening date. 

Additionally, the availability of communal spaces for bookings will be impacted to support the Volunteer Centre's operations. 

• G Commons has ceased accepting new bookings and will become available following event completion in August 2026 

• All meeting rooms and the 4th-floor attic in the G Cottage have ceased accepting new bookings and will become available following the tournament in August 2026 

• L1017 has suspended new bookings for the period of April-August 2026 as it will be used for the period of April to August 2026

Due to the hard work of the Longo CfE and Idea Lab team members, we currently do not anticipate any additional disruptions to the services that the Longo CfE and Idea Lab offer students. We appreciate their support and flexibility as we prepare to play a vital role in making FIFA World Cup 26™ a success in Toronto.
