Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber (Humber) are leaders in providing a learning, working and living environment that recognizes and values equity, diversity and inclusion in all its programs and services.

Humber proudly endorsed the Dimensions: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Canada Charter.

Through endorsing the Dimensions Charter, Humber commits to adopting the principles throughout the College's policies, practices and culture to achieve greater equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). This commitment reflects ongoing and productive engagement with the Humber community. The Dimensions Charter principles are:

1. The post-secondary research community has the greatest potential to thrive when members experience equitable, inclusive and unbiased systems and practices.
2. To advance institutional equity, diversity and inclusion, specific, measurable and sustainable actions are needed to counter systemic barriers, explicit and unconscious biases, and inequities. This includes addressing obstacles faced by, but not limited to, women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minority or racialized groups, and members of LGBTQ2+ communities.
3. Institutions require qualitative and quantitative data to measure, monitor, understand and publicly report on challenges and progress made. The analysis of the data should inform a comprehensive, in-depth, intersectional understanding of the contexts, manifestations and experiences that result from inequities, underrepresentation and exclusion among all post-secondary community members.
4. When equity, diversity and inclusion considerations and practices are integral to research participation, to the research itself, and to research training and learning environments, research excellence, innovation and creativity are heightened across all disciplines, fields of study and stages of career development.
5. To contribute to reconciliation, research with, by or impacting Indigenous Peoples must align with the research policies and best practices identified through ongoing engagement with First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples and their organizations.
6. Advancing equity, diversity and inclusion is a shared responsibility that requires dedicated resources and strong leadership at all levels. Senior leadership demonstrates commitment through public endorsement, by ensuring the work involved is resourced and distributed fairly, and by embedding changes in institutional governance and accountability structures.
7. Issues of institutional and individual safety, trust, belonging, privacy and power differentials must be recognized and pro-actively addressed; this will be most successful when those impacted are directly engaged in defining the actions.
8. Achieving the overall objective of the Dimensions program—to foster increased research excellence, innovation and creativity within the post-secondary sector across all disciplines through increased equity, diversity and inclusion—involves institutional collaboration, transparency, and the sharing of challenges, successes and promising practices.

Humber's EDI Implementation Plan incorporates the principles of the Dimensions Charter. For information on Humber’s EDI Implementation Plan, please visit the EDI Taskforce website.

As you know, the Communiqué website and daily newsletter are Humber’s primary employee/ internal communication channels.

The website and email have been redesigned with a modern, fresh look that is mobile compatible, and has many new features, including enhanced analytics. For example, if you are interested in how many clicks your Communiqué submission received, please send an email to communique@humber.ca.

We hope you will explore the redesigned Communiqué webpage in the coming weeks and continue to check back for all the latest news.

The new Communiqué also features Employee News Network (ENN) – news for employees by employees. Developed by staff from across multiple departments, this user-generated news channel is aimed at highlighting employee achievements, new initiatives, milestones and announcements. Communiqué content standards and submission guidelines, along with ENN video submissions can be made here. 

All approved ENN videos will appear on the Communiqué website and selected videos will be featured in the daily newsletter. The Communications team approves all content before publication in Communiqué and on ENN.

We are looking forward to sharing more of the great work taking place at Humber and the milestones reached by all of you.

You will also be able to find the latest news and information from President Chris Whitaker on the redesigned Chris’ Corner webpage. Check out his latest Tweets, blog posts and messages.

As you get familiar with the new look and feel of these communication channels, we welcome your feedback at communique@humber.ca.

Thank you to everyone who worked on these projects.
