Last Friday, December 6, 2019, 15 teams participated in the 10th Annual Humber Spinathon for the United Way. 

Students kept the energy high that was set forth by excellent professional instruction by Humber's own faculty, Carmen Puyo, Victoria Ryder-Burbidge and Irene Kairys.

Thank you to all of the teams for their fundraising efforts. We raised $7,251.

To get an idea of how well things went, please watch our 90-second post-event video.

The Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and the University of Guelph-Humber (hereafter referred to as “Humber” or “the College”) is committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from discrimination and harassment. The College has the right, as well as the legal and moral responsibility, to ensure that all its members are treated fairly, equitably, and respectfully, in order to provide a learning, working and living environment free from discrimination and harassment.

Racist statements and hate messages are forms of discrimination and a breach of the Ontario Human Rights Code and Humber’s Human Rights Policy. Hate messages are not accepted at Humber.

Humber’s Human Rights Policy defines Racial/Ethno-cultural/Religious Harassment:

Racial/Ethno-cultural/Religious Harassment: Is prohibited by the Ontario Human Rights Code and generally involves written, verbal and/or physical actions which express negative attitudes, derogation, and/or hate for a person or group of persons based on their race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship or creed. Racial/ethno-cultural/religious harassment may include, but is not limited to, the following behaviours:

• demeaning comments, unwelcome remarks, jokes, innuendoes or taunting about a person's or group of persons' race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed;
• displaying racist, derogatory or offensive pictures or sexually explicit materials, either through printed copy or personal computer;
• denial of normal co-operation with members of the College community because of the individual's racial or ethnic background;
• insulting gestures or practical jokes based on racial or ethnic grounds which cause embarrassment or awkwardness;
• demeaning remarks about a racial/cultural group in the presence of any individual (not necessarily a member of the group mentioned) that creates a poisoned learning, working and living environment;
• using pejorative names based on race or ethnic origin.

Thank you for your commitment to ensuring an inclusive environment free from discrimination and harassment.

In order to make it easier to advise of any errors or changes required to program/course content on the website, we have created a ‘Report Error/Request Change’ functionality to the main page of humber.ca/hq.

On this page you can choose from a number of options depending on your specific question/issue. Once you select the option, your question will be forwarded directly to the person who is responsible for that information or section of content on the website.

This provides a simple solution to reporting errors occurring on program pages of the Humber website and will ensure that any issues are resolved as quickly as possible.

Any Humber staff, who has a Humber email sign-in, can access the HQ system through humber.ca/hq and report an error. However, we encourage you to first connect with one of the HQ point people from your area (see list below). This will help to keep the lines of communication open in your faculty/area.

Please note that those faculty/business unit staff who have been trained in the Request Change functionality can continue to use this process for “static” content edits.

We hope this will provide a simple solution to reporting errors occurring on program pages of the Humber website.

Please direct questions/comments to Debbie Krulicki of Government Relations, Marketing and Communications.
