Did you know that the Gender Diversity Policy outlines Humber’s position as it relates to Self-Identification?
Provided below is an overview of Humber’s statement on Self-Identification located in section one (1.1) of Humber’s Gender Diversity Policy:
Self-identification is the sole and whole measure of a person’s gender.
a) No person shall be asked or required to 'prove' their gender (e.g. by providing a doctor's note, identity documents, etcetera) in order to gain access to any facilities, activities, initiatives and opportunities within the Humber College learning, working and/or living environment.
b) However, if a person, having established a relationship with the College which is reflected in documents created and stored by the College (whether electronic or hard copy), seeks a change in those documents to reflect their gender and/or preferred gender pronoun, appropriate identification documents will be required in order to ensure against identity fraud. For this purpose, appropriate identification documents for Ontario Residents may include the Change of Name document from the Office of the Registrar General.

Marketplace Exchange can best be described as a fair, where different schools and departments come to showcase what they do and how they support the Humber community both internally and externally. Marketplace exhibitors can highlight recent, current or future Humber projects, initiatives or research. The Marketplace Exchange takes place in the Humber Student Centre (11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.). Marketplace is a great opportunity to bring the Humber community together for conversation, sharing and networking.

The Grad Life website connects students with on-campus resources that are particularly important during the final leg of their Humber journey:

Policy Changes
The new changes to the Sunlife plan regarding osteopathic treatment does not affect the services provided by Lydia Henry as she is not registered with the named associations that will not be covered.
Lydia Henry is a osteopathic manual practioner registered with the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OAO).
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a treatment philosophy which identifies areas of the body that are restricted or constricted, then eases these restrictions so that normal function can resume.
Defintion:
Osteopathy applies the knowledge of the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the body, to all diseases, disorders and dysfunctions. The tools osteopaths use are their hands. Osteopathic manual practitioners use a gentle “hands-on” or “manual” approach, applied through osteopathic philosophy, to identify the causative factor of the problem and restore order to all of the systems.
Lydia is available for appointments at the Humber Athletic Therapy Clinic on Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Please call x4025 to make an appointment.
The College’s working, living and learning environments will be maintained free from discrimination and harassment as prohibited by the Ontario Human Rights Code and from personal or psychological harassment as outlined in Humber’s Human Rights Policy.
