The Ontario Human Rights Commission requires that all employers provide ongoing education and training on the organization’s
human rights policy. All Humber employees (full-time, non-full-time, work-study) are required to update their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures every two years.

Goal of the workshop:

Increase and reinforce Humber and University of Guelph-Humber employees’ understanding of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Humber’s Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedures, and their implications for enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in order to advance employees’ feelings of belonging.

Please note the following:

• All Humber employees who have attended a Humber Human Rights Training session prior to December 2021 are required to refresh their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures by undergoing an updated training. It is important to note that the policy is being revised and you will also have an opportunity to provide input at the educational sessions.
• Registration space is limited. Please do not sign up for more than one session in order to leave space for other registrants.
• To facilitate your attendance, Human Rights Training sessions will be offered through an Eventbrite online registration process available at the registration link below each session.
• Please note whether the session is marked as an "Open Session" which means it is open to all Humber Employees or a "Closed Session" and is therefore only open to a select group of employees.
