Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) is pleased to announce that the next round of the SmartStart Seed Fund (SmartStart) program is now open.

The SmartStart program is designed to support new ventures led by Ontario’s next generation of entrepreneurs, to transition their start-ups from product development, to market entry and company building. The program provides up to $30,000 (to be matched 1:1 by the start-up) in seed funding and support for entrepreneurship skills training and professional advisory services, helping to grow the start-ups and make them investment- and customer-ready. The SmartStart program is delivered by OCE on behalf of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).

To ensure SmartStart supports only high-quality companies, applicants to the program must be endorsed by one of the following members of the ONE Network: a Regional Innovation Centre (RIC) funded by the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (MEDJCT), an OCE-funded Campus-Linked Accelerator (CLA), or an OCE-funded On-Campus Entrepreneurship Activities (OCEA) program recipient.

To this effect, please note that all potential SmartStart applicants will require an endorsement form from their RIC, CLA or OCEA before they can apply to the program. We are relying on the endorsers to vet potential applicants to ensure they fit both our required eligibility criteria and are suitable for the program.
 
Companies must be:

  • For-profit, based in a Southern Ontario census region, incorporated for less than four years, and have less than $250,000 in revenue and/or investment;
  • Actively engaged as a client for at least four months within the past 12 months, and/or recently accepted into a program involving a selection process (such as an accelerator, a bootcamp/pitch competition winner, recipient of an embedded executive, etc.) with your RIC, CLA or OCEA organization;
  • Additionally, companies should meet the following suitability criteria: have a team of two or more people, be developing a disruptive, technology-based, scalable business focused on a fast-growing or new market, have a minimum-viable product (MVP), and can articulate a product-market fit and sales process.

The Humber CfE will be your endorser so please contact Humber CfE (cfe@humber.ca) once you have completed the Eligibility Questionaire. Deadline to submit an Eligibility Questionnaire: February 1, 2019, 11:59 p.m. ET.

We have temporarily closed the LRC north east entrance (leading to the bus loop).

This closure is due to the extreme cold coming through the steadily opened doors caused by high pedestrian traffic volume, allowing the wind to push frigid air right into the centre of the first floor of the LRC.

We are asking students, staff and guests to please use the front LRC entrance for entering and exiting the building.

Facilities is assessing alternative long-term options to solve this problem.

Thank you,

Humber Facilities

With the flu season well upon us, we encourage our staff, students and visitors to stay as healthy as possible and continue to practice flu prevention techniques.

Here is a reminder to everyday actions to prevent the flu:

  • Get the flu vaccine. This is available from the North or Lakeshore Health Centres.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water.
  • Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers; these are available throughout the college.
  • Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
  • Clean shared surfaces and items.
  • Stay at home when you're sick.

As we begin the Winter Semester, I want to thank everyone in Humber’s academic division for all of your hard work and commitment to our students. We can all take great pride in the work we do.

I’d like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on our transition to our new Faculty structure. As announced, we are creating six new faculties to align with the program areas of expansion outlined in our Strategic Mandate Agreement with the provincial government and to ensure breadth and flexible learning are embedded in our students’ experience at Humber. This change will lead to increased synergies across our programs, and greater opportunity for students, faculty and staff to collaborate with our industry and community partners through our Centres of Innovation and the Centre for Entrepreneurship.

The Academic HR planning committee, of which all Senior Deans are a part, has continued to meet regularly and has finalized a number of transitional details since the initial September 27 announcement. Should you have specific questions as we move toward the new Faculty structure, please feel free to speak with your Associate Dean or your HR Business Partner.

With the new Faculty structure officially coming into effect on May 1, 2019 and in preparation for the start of the 2019-2020 academic year, we’ll be continuing our transitional planning over the next few months. We look forward to receiving your input along the way. If you have ideas or suggestions that you wish to present, please email them to the Senior Dean or Associate Dean responsible for the area. I will do my best to provide you with regular updates and to help answer any questions you may have.

For your reference, here is a list of our full-time programs and their location within the new Faculties.

Thank you for joining us on this journey and for your contributions to supporting our students’ success. I wish you all the best in the coming semester.
