The National Day of Mourning is held annually in Canada and other countries around the world on April 28. On this day, workers, families, employers and others honour those workers who have lost their lives, been injured, suffered illness, or experienced work-related tragedies on the job.

Campus flags will be flown at half-mast on April 28 to commemorate this important day.

Let us continue to work together to renew our efforts to continually improve health and safety in the workplace. We must all commit to protect workers and prevent further workplace tragedies.

TTC Conducting Emergency Exercise at the North Campus 

TTC and Metrolinx, in cooperation with Humber Polytechnic, will be conducting an emergency exercise at the new Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the Humber North Campus.  

The exercise will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025 between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the northeast corner of the North Campus. The main exercise activity will take place between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. All exercise activities will take place either within the station, or on the LRT line just north of Humber Polytechnic in between the Humber and Westmore stations. The main campus is not part of the exercise area and impact to the campus will be minimal. 

What You Can Expect To See

Set up for the exercise will start at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. You may see emergency vehicles, along with TTC and other vehicles on or near campus, particularly at the plaza in the area of Finch and Westmore. The exercise includes approximately 200 participants, including TTC staff, emergency responders, as well as Humber Polytechnic students and staff who will be acting as passengers on the train. All exercise activities and site clean-up should be complete no later than 2 p.m.  

The exercise will make use of Parking Lot 5 during the exercise. Therefore, Lot 5 will be unavailable for use during the exercise.  

If you have any questions regarding the exercise, please contact Kathy Branton, Manager of Business Continuity and Emergency Management, via email at kathy.branton@humber.ca.
