A faculty team from the School of Health Sciences composed of Craig "the Magnum" MacCalman, Richard "the Guns" Alvarez, Jackie "the Nurse" Galea and Sandra "the Constable" Cop will be participating in an international SimWars competition this weekend in Vancouver, Canada.
The team, made up of nurses and advanced care paramedics, will take part in this exciting competition representing Humber. The Royal College invited all health care professionals to experience the latest innovations in simulation-focused learning, research and practice at the 2013 Simulation Summit as well as a simulation competition. The winner last year was an interprofessional military team. The competition is fierce, but we believe that we will WIN!
The team will be impressively dressed wearing Humber Hawks t-shirts donated by Ray Chateau from Athletics Director.
We will communicate results upon our return, please stay tuned.

As part of Humber's Sustainability initiatives, we are introducing a three day per week trial of Staples deliveries to the North Campus. Previously Staples products could be ordered and delivered the next day if required. By reducing the frequency of deliveries to campus means: fewer trucks on the road, less noise and lower greenhouse emissions related to Humber College.
Humber has so far achieved a Silver rating for campus sustainability. We are now working on areas where we can be even more sustainable, in effort to strive for gold and reduce our overall impact on the community and the environment.
From Monday, November 11, 2013 to Friday, December 6, 2013, Staples deliveries will occur on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The trial will give us all time to get used to pre-planning when we order products. At the end of the trial, we will move permanently to three days a week deliveries.
For more information, please contact Jessica Powell 416.675.6622 5172 or by email jessica.powell@humber.ca.

Effective November 5, 2013, the password requirement for the Humber Staff Communique will be removed.
Full and part time staff will be able to access the Humber Staff Communique more easily, as Humber usernames and passwords are no longer required. With the password barrier removed, keeping informed will be more convenient; however, content will now be publicly available. Any content considered ‘sensitive’ should be communicated using other methods.
To keep up-to-date on what’s happening at Humber, we encourage you to promote signing up to the daily Communique enewsletter for all of your faculty and staff. The link to sign up to the daily Communique enewsletter is on the bottom of the Communique Home Page.
