Dear colleagues,

With the generosity of Humber employees, we are excited to announce that this year’s Humber Gives campaign raised $104,000. Thank you to all of the employee donors for their continued support toward Humber Gives. Your gift makes a difference in the lives of Humber students and provides them with the opportunity to pursue their education goals.

We are also grateful for the leadership of our Humber Gives Co-Chairs Guillermo Acosta, Steve Bellamy and Denny Young. We especially thank Steve for his commitment to the campaign over the past two years, and offer a warm welcome to Alvina Cassiani, the newest co-chair to join Guillermo and Denny.

Dear colleagues,

On June 13, 2016, Premier Kathleen Wynne announced a new Ontario cabinet.

The major news for our sector is that the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities will now be called the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development.  Deb Matthews has replaced Reza Moridi as the Minister of the newly named Ministry. For a complete, updated organization chart for the ministry, go to tcu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/tcu_chart.html

Minister Matthews also retains her position as Deputy Premier and is chair of the Ontario cabinet and the Minister Responsible for Digital Government.  Minister Matthews is the most senior minister in government. This would suggests that postsecondary education and training is a top priority for the government and reflects the government’s four-part economic plan which includes investing in talent and skills. As well, the emphasis on “skills development” provides an opening to emphasize the important role that colleges play in delivering career-specific skills and training and apprenticeship. Please also note that Minister Matthews is joined by Deputy Minster Sheldon Levy who was formerly the CEO and President of Ryerson University. DM Levy joined the ministry earlier this year.

Chris has communicated Humber’s congratulations to the new Minister and invited her to visit us at Humber anytime. 

  Other announcements that are important to the our sector include:

  • Reza Moridi remains Minister of Research, Innovation and Science
  • Glen Murray remains Minister of the Environment and Climate Change
  • Brad Duguid remains Minister of Economic Development and Growth
  • Mitzie Hunter is the Minister of Education
  • Liz Sandals is the President of Treasury Board
  • Charles Sousa retains his Finance portfolio

In honour of the massacre in Orlando, in addition to June being Pride Month, we invite you to stop by the Student Life Office and leave a note of support for our LGBTQ+ communities. Visibility is a powerful thing, and so is solidarity. 

As we continue to mourn and grieve the loss of lives at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, it is also necessary to reject and counter the messages of hate present in this story. Instead, we choose to affirm and celebrate the communities impacted by this tragic event. We stand with the Latinx, Muslim, and queer Muslim communities, we hope you will join us in creating a better story.

Location: North Campus, Student Life Office - 2nd Floor LRC (until July 4th)

Contact: LGBTQ+ Resource Centre, 416.675.6622 x5575, LGBTQ@humber.ca
