Updated Policy and Procedure: Temporary Use of Space for Events

The College’s updated Temporary Use of Space for Events Policy and Procedure will be effective July 2, 2019. The new policy and procedure will be posted here.

The manner in which space is booked for on-campus events, for both internal and external clients, will become more streamlined along with the defined approval process. All events and activities using space on campus will require a permit which will be issued by the booking authority, subject to inspection by the department of Public Safety or other college officials upon demand. This will ensure that all bookings have been vetted, meet risk management guidelines and are logged properly so that in the event of an emergency we can take appropriate action.

Some examples of the types of events/activities that are impacted by the new policy/procedure are (but are not limited to):

  • Vendor sales in the concourse i.e. Valentine’s Day gifts, graduation rings, flowers etc.
  • Student/Department led bake/craft sales and/or project displays
  • Art shows
  • Conference activities
  • Information tabling
  • Performances
  • Any use of space outside of regular business hours
  • Etc.

All external requests for booking space on campus will be managed by Humber’s Conference Services Department and should be referred to an Event Logistics Liaison at hcs@humber.ca or 416.675.5027. Internal requests for booking space will continue to be verified and processed through the Registration Office Scheduling Department via a new Temporary Use of Space Application form. If a request is deemed to be external, it will be forwarded to the Conference Services office.

During July, a series of training sessions will be provided on the revised policy and procedure for those who regularly book space for their departments or faculties.  Those dates will be published in an upcoming communique message once finalized.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the following:

  1. Rhonda Harrison (Registrar’s Office) – x4024
  2. Connie Sanfilippo (Campus Services) – x77124
  3. Rob Kilfoyle (Public Safety) – x4417

Thank you,

Earlier this month, we announced that HRMS will be coming soon, via our weekly communiqué series.

After some final tweaking and ensuring we get it just right, we are ready to announce that the HRMS project will go-live on August 5, 2019!

A special message from our project sponsors, Lori Diduch and Scott Briggs, will be coming out soon where they will share their thoughts related to the project including the rationale behind the new go-live date.

Keep a lookout for our upcoming communiqué announcements where we will be sharing more details with you regarding new functionalities within HRMS, upcoming events, important dates and training sessions.

Have you missed our previous announcements?  
Don’t know what HRMS is?

The Human Resource Management System (HRMS), is a new Human Capital Management fully integrated, cloud based system that will replace Humber's existing legacy system. The new HRMS will serve as a central source of information for all HR related processes and programs, making it accessible to staff, faculty and other stakeholders through their computer, on or off campus.

Once deployed, the new HRMS provides access to core HR functions, based on your profile as a manager or an employee. Some functionality includes:

  • Entering and tracking attendance
  • Benefits enrollment
  • Entering and approving time
  • Talent management (Which includes Recruitment)
  • And much more!

This would allow HR to:

  • Become Better business partners to faculties and departments
  • Deliver real-time data & information that will improve decision-making
  • Have enhanced reporting capability
  • Streamline processes to enable faster transactions

For managers and employees, the direct access functionality will become the new way of interacting with HR giving you the flexibility, autonomy and a sense of ownership for a better overall manager and employee experience.     

As we get ready to ‘Go-Live’ all impacted stakeholders will be receiving training information to ensure that the transition to the new HRMS is easy and seamless.

To find out more about the HRMS, contact the HRMS Change Management Team at HRMSChangeTeam@humber.ca.

The Policy on ableism and discrimination based on disability (2016) from the Ontario Human Rights Commission defines Disability as follows:

Defining disability is a complex, evolving matter. The term “disability” covers a broad range and degree of conditions. A disability may have been present at birth, caused by an accident, or developed over time. Section 10 of the Code defines “disability” as:

  1. any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, a brain injury, any degree of paralysis, amputation, lack of physical co-ordination, blindness or visual impediment, deafness or hearing impediment, muteness or speech impediment, or physical reliance on a guide dog or other animal or on a wheelchair or other remedial appliance or device,

  2. a condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability,

  3. a learning disability, or a dysfunction in one or more of the processes involved in understanding or using symbols or spoken language,

  4. a mental disorder, or

  5. an injury or disability for which benefits were claimed or received under the insurance plan established under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.

“Disability” should be interpreted in broad terms. It includes both present and past conditions, as well as a subjective component, namely, one based on perception of disability. It is the OHRC’s position that anticipated disabilities are also covered by the Code. This would apply where a person does not currently have a disability, but they are treated adversely because of a perception that they will eventually develop a disability, become a burden, pose a risk, and/or require accommodation. The focus should always be on the current abilities of a person and the situation’s current risks rather than on limitations or risks that may or may not arise in the future.

Although sections 10(a) to (e) of the Code set out various types of conditions, it is clear that they are merely illustrative and not exhaustive. It is also a principle of human rights law that the Code be given a broad, purposive and contextual interpretation to advance the goal of eliminating discrimination. A disability may be the result of combinations of impairments and environmental barriers, such as attitudinal barriers, inaccessible information, an inaccessible built environment or other barriers that affect people’s full participation in society.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.
