It is with great pleasure that I announce that Ms. Melanie Sparkes has accepted the position of Business Manager in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and will begin in this new role on August 2nd, 2016.

Melanie is no stranger to Humber. She held the position of Finance and Administration Coordinator at the University of Guelph-Humber from October 2013 – August 2014 before accepting the position of Operations Manager in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies at York University, where she had previously held progressive positions as a procurement specialist, training administrator and business and data analyst.

With over 15 years of experience in operations, human resource and academic resource management in the post-secondary realm, Melanie brings with her a background that not only aligns well with the School’s academic focus but also an extensive set of skills that will enable us to explore many new business processes while maintaining our focus on providing exceptional educational and work experiences for our students, faculty and staff.

Melanie holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University in psychology as well as a Professional Certificate in Human Resource Management.  She is currently pursuing certification in project management at Humber and is fully committed to life-long learning as evidenced by her own academic pursuits.

On behalf of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the entire Humber community, let me extend my congratulations and issue a warm welcome to Melanie. We look forward to working with her on many exciting initiatives over the coming years.

In follow-up to the potential of a Canada Post Strike we are keeping close tabs to recommend next steps. In the meantime, if your mail/package is urgent, we strongly advise you to consider a carrier or private delivery company (we can help with suggestions/logistics). Email may also work for you as a solution.

Here's what you need to know if a lockout happens:

Can I drop off mail?

As most Canada Post outlets will be closed if a lockout happens and though rural postal outlets, which operate under a different union, will be open, they won't be accepting or delivering mail. 

How will this impact outgoing mail here at Humber?

So that outgoing mail within does not get misplaced while we wait for service to resume the above (outgoing mail will not be picked up by our team) will also apply. All Humber internal mail will be picked up as normal. 

What will be delivered by Canada Post?

Only mail deemed "essential" by the government will still be delivered on the 20th of each month. The essentials are socio-economic cheques, such as child tax benefits, disability benefits, Old Age Security Pension, Canada Pension Plan benefits and benefits for veterans.

Again, as the strike is not firm, we will keep you up to date as this issue unfolds. If you have any questions please contact our shipping and receiving departments at 416.675.6622 x4363 (North) or x3245 (South)

Thank you,
Humber’s Shipping and Receiving team
