Please note, due to the recent windstorm damage, we are now replacing the B building roof. We expect this job to last for 4-6 weeks (pending weather) starting as early as this week.

There may be a slight smell of asphalt and some noise. The roofing team understands Humber's sensitivity and will be doing their very best to ensure any issues are eliminated as much as possible. During the replacement, any leaks will also be monitored and remedied.

We ask you for your patience and understanding as we work through this unplanned repair/replacement.

Thank you,
Humber Facilities Team
