On Monday, April 8, 2024, much of southern Ontario will experience a total (or near-total) solar eclipse between approximately 2 - 4:30 p.m., with the peak occurring at 3:19 p.m. in Toronto. A solar eclipse is when the moon moves between the sun and the Earth for a short period of time. Some areas in southern Ontario will experience a full eclipse, but much of Ontario will experience a partial solar eclipse.

While this is an incredibly rare event that many of us are excited to experience, looking directly at the sun for any length of time is very hazardous to the eyes – it can impact your vision and cause permanent damage.

During the solar eclipse, keep these safety tips in mind to protect your eyes:

  • Do not look directly at the sun.
  • Do not use cameras, telescopes, or other optical or homemade devices to view the eclipse.
  • Regular sunglasses will not provide adequate protection. If you would like to view the eclipse, only use proper solar eclipse viewing glasses/filters that comply with the international standard ISO 12312-2(2015).
  • Consider other ways of experiencing the eclipse, such as through online streams. For example, NASA will be live streaming the event for free.

The peak of the eclipse will come with a few minutes of darkness. While the peak in Toronto is expected at 3:19 p.m., be sure to know what time of day the eclipse peak will occur in your area and be vigilant of your surroundings during this time.

For more information, please visit the City of Toronto’s Solar Eclipse Safety page.

We need your help. Have you had success implementing HLO Mindsets and Skills into your classes? We'd love your help in supporting other teaching faculty as they explore HLOs (Humber Learning Outcomes) in their courses.

Innovative Learning will run a series of workshops on HLOs in the May-June period, and we would love to highlight the expertise of teaching faculty who currently have a very good handle on HLO Mindsets, as well as examples of the ways that HLO Skills in Action have been implemented into teaching and learning at Humber.

There are two ways to get involved:

1. Seeking secondees to support workshops in May-June for other faculty on HLO Mindsets (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging, Sustainability, Systems Thinking, and Indigenous Ways of Being, Knowing and Doing). Please check with your AD to explore options for a bit of time each week. For the sake of this conversation, we unofficially anticipate this may be one to two hours a week, depending on the nature of the topic and the number of secondees available to support their peers.

2. Seeking examples of how you have successfully integrated HLO Skills in Action into your teaching. We would love to showcase your innovation to the teaching community at Humber.

Please reach out to ranya.khan@humber.ca or heather.lowry@humber.ca to share ideas, examples, or questions.

Almost ten years ago, Humber introduced the Integrated Energy Master Plan (IEMP), a 20-year strategy that guides our campus energy efficiency, greenhouse gas and water reduction goals.

Through multiple construction and retrofit projects since 2014-2015, so far we have achieved:

  • 24.2% reduction in energy use per square foot
  • 11% reduction in GHG emissions
  • 23.7% reduction in water use per student
  • about $8.6 million savings in utilty costs

We are on track to meet our IEMP goals and reduce our environmental impact while growing our campuses and giving students the chance to contribute to a greener future.

Watch the IEMP Progress video to learn more about our work so far, and access the IEMP page for more information about the plan.

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber (Humber) take the safety of our community seriously. This includes the ability to notify community members of an emergency.

Due to some recent upgrades, it is necessary to continue testing of pre-recorded emergency messages at the North campus only.

Testing of the emergency messages will take place on Saturday, March 2, 2024 between 6 to 10 p.m., including residence. Testing will require the playing of several pre-recorded emergency messages several times to ensure full coverage of the system. It is anticipated that testing will take approximately three (3) hours. Please note that testing in the residence building will be completed prior to 8 p.m.

An announcement will be made via the PA prior to the start of the testing and once the testing is complete.

Questions or concerns can be directed to Kathy Branton, manager Business Continuity and Emergency Management at kathy.branton@humber or ext. 5550.
