On behalf of myself and the School of Applied Technology, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Bernard Jackson in his retirement.

Bernie has been employed with Humber for the last 35 years as an instructor for the Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning programs.

He is a valued member of the team and will be greatly missed by his colleagues and students.

His knowledge of the field spans farther than any textbook and stories he shared with his students about his own life and experience will be carried with them through their lives and careers.  

Bernie, your retirement actually means that you got promoted to one of the best roles in your life. Enjoy and congratulations.
