This is to inform everyone at Humber that Canada Post has implemented rotating strikes as of Monday, October 22, 2018. They have been on strike since yesterday in Toronto and none of the mail is being picked up or delivered. This means the mailroom cannot process any outgoing mail and will not be picking up the outgoing mail from the schools/departments due to lack of storage and security concerns. However, we still pick up and deliver any internal mail. I encourage everyone to call the mail room at x4443 (North) and x3245 (Lakeshore) should you have any urgent documents to be shipped out. We will try and keep you updated at regular intervals.

Thank you.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Humber’s North Campus on Tuesday and spent some time with students talking about sustainability and climate change.

“I’m happy to be here at Humber today because it is a place that … has shown real leadership on not just learning about climate change, but solving the challenges that are related to it in a way that leaves us all better off as we protect the environment,” Trudeau said.

Humber’s Employment Equity Program - Implementation Steps

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.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity is re-establishing the Employment Equity Program at Humber.

Humber voluntarily complies with the Employment Equity Act.

The Implementation of an Employment Equity Program includes the following steps:

• Step 1: Initiate an employment equity program
• Step 2-1: Conduct a workforce analysis
• Step 2-2: Conduct an employment systems review
• Step 3: Create an employment equity plan
• Step 4: Establish and sustain an employment equity program
• Step 5: Produce an annual report

An Employment Equity Program was initiated at Humber several years ago. An ongoing process of the Employment Equity Program is to collect workforce information via Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire. The workforce information is used to conduct the workforce analysis (Step 2-1).
