Humber is launching a new travel plan and corporate rewards program with Air Canada. Effective immediately, all Humber employees will receive a discounted rate when booking air travel, accommodations or vehicle rentals directly with the airline. The more we travel with Air Canada, the greater the discount and overall savings to the institution. The plan also applies to select Lufthansa Group itineraries. The starting discount for Air Canada travel is five per cent. This may increase depending on the total aggregate spend by all employees.

If you would like to participate in the program, please email purchasing@humber.ca to obtain a login to the Humber specific website that you will use to book travel through Air Canada.

Once you have your login, you may book travel for yourself or for others. If someone else (within or external to Humber) usually books your travel, then they should get a login.

In your email to purchasing, please specify

• If you will only make travel arrangements for yourself
• If you will make travel arrangements for yourself and others (others includes colleagues or personal, i.e. spouse)
• If someone else (i.e. your office manager, a travel agent) will make travel arrangements for you

Program details and a user guide are available at http://www.humber.ca/finance/

Please note that while participation in this program is voluntary, we encourage the Humber community to use Air Canada whenever practical. 

For more information please email purchasing@humber.ca.

The SSAW Planning Committee would like to highlight the great work YOU (our Humber support staff employees) do every day! 

In order to do this, Fredy Mejia (SSAW Committee member) and Dekel Chui (Photographer, Centre for Teaching & Learning) have volunteered to help. With your permission, they will be visiting your department or school to take photos of staff ‘in action’ – that is, doing what they do every day in their work environment. This photo shoot is scheduled for Friday, January 29. Pictures will be showcased at the SSAW 2016 Luncheon on February 19th. If you have any questions or for any reason, you would prefer to not be included in the photo shoot, just let us know. 

So remember, on January 29th, at the count of three, say cheese!!

Thank you, 
Julie Pellegrini & Maureen Martin-Edey
