Improve Your Waste Sorting at Home

When:
July 9, 2020

In the past year, the Office of Sustainability alongside BEST Service Pros has worked hard to increase waste management education on campus including new signage and four-stream bins at Lakeshore.

While we may not be on campus, waste reduction and proper waste sorting is as important as ever. We want to make sure that the Humber community has the tools and resources they need to manage their waste, both at home and on campus.

Please fill out this short survey, and we'll provide you with some tips on how to reduce, recycle and compost properly at your house.

For waste management at home, we have created a Sustainability at Home resource that includes recycling and compost tips. In addition, if you are living in Toronto you can learn more about sorting your items on the Waste Wizard search engine.

If you have any more ideas about how we can improve waste reduction at Humber, please reach out directly to safa.al-haji@humber.ca.

Humber Galleries Virtual Field Trips and Call for Kids' Artwork

Quarantots – Kids Creating Artwork for Seniors and Essential Workers

Humber Galleries is excited to announce our new call for artwork: #Quarantots!

This summer, Humber Galleries has partnered with some wonderful cultural institutions and attractions around Toronto to create some brand new Quarantots Virtual Field Trips. Each Tuesday we'll be posting a special virtual field trip or online exhibition on our social media channels for you to visit from the comfort of your own home. All you have to do is explore the weekly exhibitions and turn one of the pieces you see there into a brand new work of art! Once you've got your masterpiece is complete you can send us a photo on social media using the hashtag #Quarantots or through the submissions form below and we'll add it to a special online gallery at the following Monday.

These artworks won’t just be online though! We want to bring some colour and positivity to the residents and front-line workers at long-term care homes. We’ve partnered with a few long-term care homes around Toronto that are beyond excited to receive some kids’ art that they can display. Let’s help bring more creativity and positivity and show them we are thinking of them! 

Check out humbergalleries.ca/quarantots or @Humbergalleries on social media for more info on how to get involved.

Congratulations to SieuMoi Ly and Mary Lee on being awarded the League 2020 Innovation of the Year Award for their project, "Dispute Resolution Clinic."

In January 2019, a student led Dispute Resolution Clinic (DRC) was launched under the leadership of the IGNITE student government Services Director, SieuMoi Ly, and the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program Coordinator, Mary Lee. Inspiration for the on-campus DRC was taken from the community Dispute Resolution Clinic, which was launched in 2013 in partnership with St. Stephen’s Community House. The ADR students provided free conflict coaching and mediation services to residents in the Etobicoke area. Drawing from this experience, the services in the on-campus DRC began with supporting students experiencing personal conflicts to issues between tenants and landlords. The DRC service has enabled support for students navigating interpersonal conflicts including group-project conflicts, cultural conflicts, and even relationship conflicts. The DRC services established a foothold of successful services that enabled the expansion of service offering in coordination with the Humber Student Registrar's office with a focus on Academic Appeal process support. The DRC also offers a unique opportunity for students in the ADR graduate program to apply their knowledge with real world experiences by providing conflict coaching, mediation and academic appeal guidance support to students in need for their field placement. The valuable service of the DRC continues to enable students' overall academic success by providing them with life skills to navigate what are sometimes emotionally charged situations, and helping students with the transition to a higher learning environment.

Thank you SieuMoi and Mary for your dedication in creating an innovative and engaging learning environment for students and your commitment to student wellness!
