Humber College’s North Campus opened 16 new Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations in the Commuter Hub (the parking garage beside Guelph-Humber)!

All the EV chargers on campus are Level 2 charging stations – they provide up to an 80% charge after 4 hours. As a result, we ask that EV drivers move their vehicle within four hours of charging to a paid spot (either permit or paid visitor parking) so that another driver can charge their vehicle's battery. Charging stations at North Campus will be complimentary until the end of February 2019 to allow EV drivers to try the charging stations. Starting March 1, 2019, the first 4 hours of charging will be free and drivers will be billed $5.00/ hour (prorated to the minute) for any additional charging. More information here.

Over the past year, the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity (the Centre) engaged the Humber College community in a participatory and consultative process to obtain feedback on Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedure. Thank you all for your engagement and feedback.

The Centre is pleased to announce the official launch of the revised Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedure. You can access the documents at:

• Human Rights Policy - humber.ca/policies/human-rights-policy
• Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedure - humber.ca/policies/procedures/human-rights-complaint-resolution-procedure

Humber is committed to fostering an equitable, diverse and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from discrimination and harassment. The College has the legal and moral responsibility to ensure that it provides a learning, working and living environment free from discrimination and harassment. Humber’s Human Rights Policy applies to all members of the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber community.

Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedure are reviewed during the Pathways to Human Rights, Education and Action training session. Registration information for this training is included in the PDF below. Note: Full-time employees are required to participate in an in-person training session.

For questions pertaining to Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedure, please contact: Nancy Simms, Director of the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity, at nancy.simms@humber.ca.

Thank you for your commitment to ensuring an inclusive environment free from discrimination and harassment.

To all members of the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber (Humber) community,

As we experience colder temperatures and snow in the coming weeks, we would like to remind the Humber community about travelling to campus during the winter and college operations during the season.

During the winter semester, we are planning to be open each day and to operate as normal. As we expect to have snow and inclement weather during the season, our facilities and campus operations teams are prepared to take actions such as clearing snow and melting ice.

On days with inclement weather, whether you drive to campus or take public transit, please give yourself extra time for your commute and travel according to road conditions.

For students, if you think the roadways near your home or the college are unsafe due to severe ice or snow, please call or email your professor or program coordinator if you decide not to come to class. For employees who think it is unsafe to travel to the college because of severe ice or snow, please call or email your supervisor.

In the event that a college/campus closure is required due to severe weather, an announcement will be posted on humber.ca, our main Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels, and Humber Alert by 6 a.m. for morning classes, and 3:30 p.m. for evening classes, or as soon as possible. We will also inform GTA media of a college closure. You can sign up to receive notification of Humber campus activity, including closures here.

If a closure occurs, students scheduled to be at external organizations for an internship or placement, or for other college related activities, will follow the protocol of the external organization with respect to cancellation of college activities or closure of the facility. It is the student’s responsibility to advise their external placement advisor or supervisor of any situation that prevents them from attending their placement or work.

For Orangeville Campus students and employees, please note that separate announcements will be sent to you, as the weather in Orangeville and Etobicoke is not always the same.

For more information, please see the weather closure FAQ and Humber’s Unscheduled Closure of Campus Buildings policy (and Severe Weather Procedure).

We wish you a safe and warm winter season.

This summer, the residences will not be accepting any groups for accommodations until May 15. If you are in need of group accommodations prior to this date, Conference Services would be happy to refer you to one of our community partners.

Please contact us at hcs@humber.ca for more information.
