To support Humber’s Strategic Plan Priority of being a “national leader in sustainable campuses”, we are pleased to announce that Lindsay Walker’s new title is Associate Director, Sustainability. This will allow Lindsay to continue her strategic role in developing, launching and implementing the new five-year Campus Sustainability Plan 2019–2024. Focus will be on fostering a culture of sustainability at Humber that touches every aspect of the organization, collaborating with related institutional strategic priorities, while overseeing a wide range of campus and community initiatives.

Since 2012, Lindsay has been responsible for the huge success of the Humber Sustainability strategy. Notable recognition includes Humber being named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers four years running, Fair Trade certification at North and Lake Campuses, an ILO related to sustainability and the first Zero Carbon certified retrofit in the country.

Please join us in congratulating Lindsay on the promotion.

Welcome to the Virgin Pulse Global Challenge 2019!

Every great team starts with a little competition and a lot of fun. This year, Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are pleased to offer you another exciting and adventurous way to be healthy while becoming an even greater, stronger team. 

First, you will need to commit to a team of seven colleagues, and then nominate a team captain.

You will then wear your Virgin Max Buzz each day to track your activity. Whether you chose to step it up by walking, biking or ballroom dancing, work with your team and motivate each other to get moving more each day!  

On September 4, 2019, you and your team will start the 100-day virtual journey around the world. The more active you are, the further you will progress and the more virtual locations your team will unlock. Whether it is the virtual trophies, leaderboards or your motivational colleagues, you will find your own source of inspiration to achieve milestones along the way. 

To start your adventure, take the first step now and sign up your team of seven today!

Space is limited, so act fast!

You will find all the information you need on this link below to learn what the Global Challenge is, how it works, and why choosing to get involved will be the best decision you will make all year.
