Have you hired work-study students for the school year? If their duties include working on marketing and communications materials for your team, we highly encourage setting up a brand introduction workshop.

All Humber employees, including work-study students, are welcome to attend a Humber brand workshop to learn about the resources and services available.

The workshop, which is less than one hour, is available year-round. It is customizable to meet your team’s needs and we will come to you at a convenient time. All we need is an A/V hookup with a projector/screen and space for your team to sit.

Thank you for ensuring proper use of Humber’s brand.

Please contact Rebecca Fox, Marketing and Communications at rebecca.fox@humber.ca to set up a workshop, and visit www.humber.ca/brand to learn what we can do for you and your team.

Humber’s sustainability initiatives were the subject of an article in the September 2015 edition of In-procurement, written by Purchasing Services manager, Emily Eyre. The article outlines the school’s commitment to sustainability and the role it plays in strategic planning and other internal practices. See page 32 of the electronic issue, which can be found at: issuu.com/in-procurementmagazine/docs/september_2015

A thank you to the Sustainability Coordinating Committee (SCC), faculty and others who have embraced and incorporated sustainability concepts into student curriculum and work procedures. This will continue to have a positive effect on Humber and the community at large.

Dear Colleagues, 

Early in the morning, July 8 2015, Peter Olsen passed away peacefully.

Peter was born in Denmark in 1946, immigrated to Canada at the age of 11 with his parents, John and Elsebeth, who established the flourishing Royal City Nursery at the corner of Woodlawn Road and the Hanlon Expressway, back in 1962.

Peter was a horticulturalist at heart, always stopping to pull a weed or unsheathing his secateurs to prune just one more branch. The love and passion for all things landscape led Peter to become a student in the first Horticulture Apprenticeship program at Humber College. He went on to teach horticulture at Humber College for 35 years, until last winter.

The Olsen family has set up a scholarship fund in Peter’s name. To find out more about the fund or to donate click here: Peter Olsen Horticulture Apprenticeship Scholarship Fund, courtesy of the Ontario Horticulture Trades Foundation or contact us at 519.824.4998.
