Humber Press launched two new children's books, Canada: Our Road to Democracy and Grandma and Grandpa’s Toronto Adventure, both written by Alister Mathieson, Humber's vice-president of Advancement and External Relations, and Marianne Ilass, and illustrated by Derek Douglas.
"Congratulations to Alister Mathieson (VP, Advancement & External Affairs) from his friends and colleagues at Humber Press on the massively successful launch of his two new books for children - 'Canada: Our Road to Democracy' and 'Grandma and Grandpa's Toronto Adventure.' The event was attended by dozens of readers and well-wishers, along with Humber president Chris Whitaker and an aide-de-camp to Lieutenant-Governor David Onley (who was, unfortunately, unable to attend in person). There was candy, art, conversation, and, of course, lots and lots of books getting signed by Alister and his co-creators. Great job, Alister!" - Humber Press
Alister’s royalties and net proceeds from the sales of both books will go towards the Blossom Student Award and Scholarship Fund, a newly established scholarship for students facing challenges from disabilities and mental illness.
To order a copy of either book please email humberpress@humber.ca
Canada: Our Road to Democracy (hardcover) - $24
Grandma and Grandpa’s Toronto Adventure (paperback) - $17.50
The book will soon be available on humberpress.com. Stay tuned!

We are excited to announce a new online booking system for students needing a peer tutor. The new scheduling system will improve the efficiency of connecting student learners with peer tutors. This system is currently available for North campus only.
After a student applies for a Peer Tutor (on-line or in person), they will attend a quick orientation in H217. They will learn how to shedule an appointment online, see who is available to tutor for their course of interest, and book an appointment based on matching availability.
