As of startup on September 4, the parking garage will be used only by University of Guelph-Humber students with parking permits. We are making 200 spots available for the students. This will allow for appropriate time to complete the parking garage and have it fully operational later in the fall semester. Currently, the hours of operation for the parking garage are 7 a.m to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, and closed on weekends.

The installation of the parking gates in lots 1, 3 and 13 will be completed over the next three weeks. Security guards will be present at each entrance to assist staff and students with permits in entering and exiting these lots. These gates will be fully functioning by September 24.

The parking office has been fielding several questions regarding CE Faculty. A limited number of after business hours parking permits will be made available for CE Faculty. These permits will be made available on a first come first serve basis at the current part time parking rate of $88 per semester. The permit will only be operative after 5 p.m. on weekdays. Weekend parking remains free in all lots at both North and Lakeshore campuses. All CE Faculty interested in obtaining a permit need to initiate a park admin profile through the MyHumber Parking & Lockers System at humber.ca/myhumber.

Any interested CE Faculty should present their name to Rosemarie Gerow, Administrative Assistant to the Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning at rosemarie.gerow@humber.ca.

The parking staff will then place a reservation for payment on the CE Faculty Humber Park Admin User Account following receipt of name from Rosemarie Gerow. Parking staff will then update the CE Faculty staff photo ID card to allow for parking lot gate access.

In the meantime, over the next three weeks, CE Faculty are asked to access lots 1 and 13 where the security guard will allow them to park. Following September 24, those CE Faculty unable to secure the after-hours permit or not wishing to purchase a parking permit will need to park in the visitor lots and pay the visitor rates: humber.ca/facilities/parking-transportation/rates.

CE students are required to park in the visitor lot: humber.ca/facilities/parking-transportation/visitor-instructions and pay visitor parking rates (see Daily Rates): humber.ca/facilities/parking-transportation/rates.

The Humber Arboretum is excited to invite you to take part in the creation of our first five-year plan!

Join us in transforming the Humber Arboretum by contributing to our new vision for 2019-2024. Throughout the fall there will be opportunities for you to share your ideas and opinions about the activities that take place at the Humber Arboretum and to tell us what you'd like us to do in the future.

Registration is now open for in-person focus groups taking place at the Centre for Urban Ecology on October 3 and 4. Come out for a lively discussion and a complimentary pizza lunch!

Can’t make the in-person groups? We’ll also have virtual focus groups taking place in the evenings on those days.

And later in September, you’ll be able to take an online survey. This survey will be open to everyone and we’ll be encouraging focus group participants to fill it out as well.

Visit the Humber Arboretum website now to RSVP for the focus groups and to learn more about the process.

The Office of Sustainability

In May 2018, Humber International’s student ambassador team launched a video series geared towards answering common questions asked by prospective international students.

So far, the videos series has covered topics such as ‘What is a SIN’, ‘How to open a bank account’ and ‘Weather in Toronto.’ The video on ‘How to upload your Study Permit’, the most watched video of the series, has had more than 2,600 views.

The video series has had a strong impact on Humber International’s YouTube presence. The series has led to an increase of 125 per cent in our subscriber base and total video views is up by about 50 per cent. Countries with the highest viewership are India, Canada (international students already in the country), Indonesia, Jamaica and Brazil.

With 2,356 YouTube channel subscribers, we now have the largest number of subscribers among other colleges in the GTA. Humber College’s main channel has 6,300 subscribers. To view, share or subscribe to our YouTube channel, please click here.
