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.

Linda Porteous, our resident knowledgebase, has decided to retire. Linda started at Humber in 1981 as a computer programmer coding in PL/1 and Assembler. She later transitioned into a service adoption role first on Banner and then later with the Support Centre. An exceptionally talented individual, Linda is the author behind many of Humber's current Quick Reference Guides as well as the brains behind the two security awareness campaigns ("Passwords are like Underwear" and "Don’t Take the Bait") airing on Humber TV. Cautious, deliberate, and precise, Linda has helped countless individuals achieve success with both style and grace. And now, after 35 glorious years, she will be retiring. Congratulations, Linda!

Canada’s new Ambassador to Indonesia, His Excellency Peter MacArthur, met with students and staff from Humber’s Sulawesi Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) project in Indonesia to see an example of international cooperation in action.

MacArthur saw first-hand how students from the SEDS project are thriving in their new businesses showcased at the Universitas Hasanuddin (UNHAS) Marketplace Expo. He visited the stalls of several entrepreneurs selling everything from vegetable-based ice cream, to an app for home security – to organic fertilizer. MacArthur recognized the significance of SEDS in building the capacity of youth in entrepreneurship and took the opportunity to tour the newly renovated business center.  

“Indonesia is a remarkable country and one of Canada’s most important partners in the Asia Pacific region,” said Ambassador MacArthur. “Our two countries value pluralism and democracy, and a commitment to sustainable economic growth through facilitation of small businesses, innovation and education to help build a stronger middle class.”

Humber works alongside seven universities in Indonesia to improve their curriculum and teaching methods in entrepreneurship. The five year program develops the creative and business skills of students in the classroom, while also provides on-campus hubs for students to explore entrepreneurship on their own.
