Thanks to everyone who helped make Pink Ribbon Day a success. The collaborative efforts of the HSF student volunteers, the Schools of HRT and Business, the Wellness and Accessibility Centre, Human Resources and Marketing helped collect $1,270.80 for Breast Cancer Research. In addition, the Pillar of Hope and the We Are Hope social media campaign helped to increase awareness about this disease.
Next year, the goal is to double our donations and have more schools and students participating in the awareness campaign.
Thanks again,
Richard Mitchell

The event is an opportunity for Humber staff with a child in grade 9 to spend a day in the workplace. It is an opportunity for students to develop an appreciation of their parents’ career roles, to understand the skills necessary to work in a variety of occupations and to consider the wide range of careers possible as they visit worksites.
