The Ontario Association for Applied Architectural Sciences (OAAAS) awarded the 2017 Student Awards on May 26 at the Westin Hotel Ottawa during the RAIC/OAA conference. We are pleased to announce that Humber College placed first in both the Large Building Group category and first in the Large Building Individual category. This competition is open to all final year graduating students from all the Community Colleges in Ontario.

Humber Architectural Technology students Albert Thomson, Kevin Martindale and James Wilson placed first in the Large Building Group category with their Caledon Village Center. In fact, this project was so strong that it was announced on stage that no second place was awarded. This is unprecedented.

Humber Architectural Technology student Lenny Petrilli placed first in the Large Building Individual category with his Alton Arts Center project. The jury commended his working drawing skills.

On behalf of the Dean of the School of Applied Technology, Dr. Farzad Rayegani, Humber College congratulates all of the winners!

It's almost time for summer nature camp at the Humber Arboretum! Open to kids aged 5-12, these weekday camps run throughout July and August and are designed to help children develop a lasting appreciation for the natural environment. The Humber Arboretum's summer nature day camp is based out of the Centre for Urban Ecology but takes campers on an outdoor exploration of the gardens, forest, meadow, wetlands, ponds, and river that make up the Arboretum grounds.

Weekly activities include:

  • Nature Walks 
  • Forest Exploration
  • Eco Art
  • Wildlife Spotting
  • Pond Discovery
  • Natural Mindfulness and Yoga
  • Free-Swim Fridays (Supervised time in an indoor pool)

Every week is made unique with the addition of theme-specific activities. The second week of camp - Humber River Week - is already fully booked! But there are still a few spots available in weeks such as:

Urban Greenspaces (Week One: July 4-7*)
Start the summer discovering why greenspaces are so important for a city like Toronto! During Urban Greenspaces week, campers will explore the urban ecosystems of the Humber Arboretum as they learn about the importance of biodiversity, the problems caused by invasive species, and other challenges of urban ecology. 

Dirty Science! (Week Three: July 17-21)
This week campers will explore the importance of soil. Themed activities will include seed planting, a greenhouse visit, beaver dam building, and natural paint brushes and mud painting.

Wilderness Survival (Week Five: July 31-August 4)
Food, shelter, warmth, and way-finding – this week is all about the basics of wilderness survival. Campers will learn to use clues in nature to help determine direction, be introduced to basic edible and medicinal plants, and build shelters.

Plus many others! There are nine weeks of camp to choose from. Explore all of the options, learn more, and register your child at:

humber.ca/arboretum/learn/camps/summer-camp.html

Camp costs costs $235/week* and runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with before care and after care available for an additional fee.  

*The Humber Arboretum is closed for Canada Day on Monday July 3rd and the Civic Holiday on Monday August 7th and so the first and sixth weeks of camp are four days only. The price is adjusted to $190 for those two weeks.
