Humber College – Chartwells Catering will stop serving bottled water at all catering events at North and Lakeshore campuses, effective September 4, 2018. Aligning with Humber’s commitment to sustainability on campus, we aim to raise awareness about the benefits of tap water and to decrease campus bottled water consumption. By limiting our use of bottled water, we will help reduce our collective carbon footprint and promote social and environmental responsibility. With this new standard in place, we will offer water dispensers at all of our catering events that feature traditional and infused water! Thank you for trusting us to be your source for top-quality catering at Humber College and we look forward to working together
