Frequently Asked Questions and Responses:
What happens at Orientation?
Orientation is designed to provide you with the opportunity to meet your future classmates, tour the campus, interact with your Program Coordinator and faculty members plus introduce you to all the services on campus to help make you successful.
Orientation at Humber includes:
Do I have to attend Orientation?
Last year, 98% of students who attended Orientation indicated that it was worthwhile to have attended. In addition, research proves that attending Orientation helps you succeed academically by connecting you to the appropriate services and supports available to you. There are some sessions offered during Orientation Week that are strongly recommended and should be considered mandatory for all incoming students. These are intended to prepare you for the start of classes.
Other activities are optional; however, we highly recommend that you take advantage of the opportunities provided. We believe by attending as many of the additional information and social events you will feel more connected with your new Humber family. In the end, this will help you to find your direction.
Can I bring a parent, family member or guest to Orientation?
Yes. Parents or family are welcome to attend a special one-hour Orientation session just for them so they can learn about the college and have all their questions answered. Please note that this is separate from your Orientation so you will not be spending the day together. Both you and your family members will be having too much fun to notice the other is not around.
Is there a cost to attend Orientation?
Orientation is free for new students including all the social events, food and special programming! The Humber Students’ Federation is your source for fun on campus and will be teaming up with the Student Success & Engagement team to put on some great socials for you.
Do I need to pay for parking at Orientation?
Parking on campus during Orientation is free. Upon registration, you will receive a parking permit.

“I applaud (Humber College) for being in the vanguard of education in this area that will reap benefits in the justice system in the years ahead.”
- Justice R. Blouin: Ontario Court of Justice
“An alternative system of justice is needed to respond to those (victims’) needs.” - RCMP on Restorative Justice
The Transformative and Restorative Justice program at Humber reflects the views of leading thinkers in the field: restorative justice (RJ) is not a unified subject, nor is it complete - professionals and academics continue to engage in its construction. Thus, instead of passively reflecting on what RJ is, or has been, participants will actively contribute to its future as an evolving social movement.
RJ is an innovative justice strategy which addresses interpersonal conflict through mediation, dialogue, and reconciliation. Victims take an active role in defining the process and offenders are supported in taking responsibility and repairing the harm they caused.
Many believe that RJ is part of a solution to serious issues of prison overpopulation, prison cost, lack of offender accountability, re-victimization of victims by insensitive court proceedings. Still, as a diversionary process, RJ is only part of a larger evolving program of transformative justice which aims to transform communities by connecting individual struggles to overarching structural inequities.
This pioneering program leads participants through a critical exploration of restorative justice and the criminal justice system. The depth, scope, and sophistication of this inquiry is profoundly unique among certificates of this kind and will give graduates a compassionate edge in the professional field.
We also focus on practical skill building through participatory education and participant led class structures. Guided by RJ values and principles, students will master facilitation skills which can be exported across a gamut of RJ programs (victim offender mediation, circle facilitation, crime prevention etc.) and professional fields (education, corrections, community building etc.).
RJ practitioners are becoming increasingly valued agents of social transformation by bringing their value based knowledge, and practical skills into any professional or personal field where justice is a concern. At Humber, we go beyond conventional approaches to emphasize the transformative component of this increasingly popular model. By participating in the social movement of transformative justice, you are not just changing with the times, you are changing the times.
Humber College students are partnering with Youth Without Shelter (YWS), a youth shelter located in north Etobicoke, to make a lasting difference in the lives of youth this summer.
YWS is the only youth shelter in Etobicoke that provides emergency residence and referral services to homeless youth ages 16-24. In addition to their many programs for youth at YWS, the first priority when a youth enters the shelter is to improve their physical health through a healthy diet. YWS provides three meals a day for an average of 50 homeless youth. Their greatest need in the kitchen is milk.
The goal of this student group is to raise enough money to supply the YWS kitchen with milk for two weeks this summer. To help raise these funds and to raise awareness for the organization they hosted a bale sale event at the Humber Lakeshore Campus on Wednesday July 31, 2013, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The event was well attended by staff and students and was an overall success. The fundraising goals for the bake sale exceeded expectations and a total of $265 was raised for the cause.
A big thank you to all our volunteers, to those who donated baked goods and to Nashel's Event Planning Agency, who donated the thank you gifts. Also, thank you to those from the faculty and staff who supported this project.

Dear Colleagues,
On May 15, 2013, over 145 golfers took to the links at Glen Eagle Golf Club in Bolton Ontario, participating in the inaugural Humber College Classic Golf Tournament. Together with our corporate sponsors, this group of golfers managed to raise over $21,000 in support of Humber’s scholarships and awards program. To label the event a success would be an understatement, and I would like to thank everyone for generously supporting this event. I would also like to thank the organizing committee who gave of their time, energy and spirit to nurture an idea and host an event that we will continue to look forward to year after year. As our President, Chris Whitaker has often said, a great institution is built upon a foundation of great traditions. The Humber College Classic will undoubtedly become one of those great traditions.
Thank you for your continued support of Humber and our students.
