When:
October 4, 2018

This past Tuesday, Baking and Pastry Arts students and faculty baked a whopping 500 pies in support of United Way. Staff and students gathered together all evening to bake a delicious array of flavours - including apple crumble, southern pecan, spiced pumpkin and bumbleberry - just in time for Thanksgiving. 

A big thank you goes out to Chefs Kumar, Ku, Gonzalez, Joseph and Smith for organizing the production and to all the students who helped make the pies. It was not only a learning experience in collaboration and team work, but was also a fun way to spend an evening. 

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your meals!

New Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology Policy
View in full page
When:
October 1, 2018

I’m pleased to announce the Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology Policy (hereafter referred to as “the Policy”), which specifies the terms and conditions by which the Humber Arboretum’s lands, services and facilities may be used. The Policy has been approved by the Humber Arboretum’s Management Committee (which includes senior representatives from the Humber Arboretum’s three founding partners- Humber College, TRCA, and City of Toronto), as well as by Humber College Executive.

The Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology includes 250 acres of land comprising woody and herbaceous plant collections, wildlife habitat, and natural areas. It also includes The Centre for Urban Ecology, a sustainable building located within the Humber Arboretum, built to serve the Humber Arboretum’s purpose. As outlined in the Humber Arboretum’s Tripartite Agreement, the Humber Arboretum’s purpose is:

  1. To establish and maintain a comprehensive, aesthetically pleasing collection of woody and herbaceous plants;
  2. To demonstrate correct arboricultural and horticultural techniques through responsible development and maintenance practices;
  3. To protect natural areas through appropriate conservation and restoration practices;
  4. To facilitate a range of educational and research opportunities in arboriculture and horticulture and environmental studies;
  5. To establish and promote the Humber Arboretum as a resource that is an integral part of the Greater Toronto community and an attraction for national and international visitors;
  6. To establish, maintain, and encourage Wildlife habitat; and
  7. To create and maintain a Centre for Urban Ecology that will serve as a gathering point, with functional laboratory and classroom facilities.

The Humber Arboretum’s lands, services and facilities are a resource for the general public as well as for Humber College and University of Guelph-Humber community members. The Policy specifies the terms and conditions by which the Humber Arboretum’s lands, services and facilities may be used.

The Policy in its entirety can be found here: humber.ca/policies/humber-arboretum-and-centre-urban-ecology-policy

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or if you would like to learn more.

 

Sincerely,

Alexandra Link
Director, Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology

Employment Equity at Humber College

"It is not that individuals in the designated groups are inherently unable to achieve equality on their own, it is that the obstacles in their way are so formidable and self-perpetuating that they cannot be overcome without intervention. It is both intolerable and insensitive if we simply wait and hope that the barriers will disappear with time. Equality in employment will not happen unless we make it happen." - Judge Rosalie Silberman Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment, 1985

Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.

What is Employment Equity?

Employment Equity is an on-going planning process used by an employer to:

  • identify and eliminate barriers in an organization's employment policies and procedures;
  • put into place positive policies and practices to ensure the effects of systemic barriers are eliminated; and
  • ensure appropriate representation of identified group members throughout their workforce.

What is the goal of Employment Equity?

  • eliminate employment barriers for the designated groups: women, persons with disabilities, Aboriginal people, members of racialized groups. At Humber, we provide persons with the opportunity to identify their sexual and gender identity.
  • remedy past discrimination in employment opportunities and prevent future barriers;
  • improve access and distribution throughout all occupations and at all levels for members of the identified groups; and
  • foster a climate of equity and inclusion in the organization.

Humber College complies voluntarily with the Employment Equity Act under the Federal Contractors Program.

Please visit the Centre website for more information about Humber’s Employment Equity Program.
