Embracing Diversity: Stepping Up and Moving Forward in an Ever-Changing World
Please join us for the Every Child Belongs Virtual Conference, being held on Wednesday, November 24 and Thursday, November 25.
This two day virtual conference will be impactful, interactive and inspiring. Participants can expect to learn practical tools as well as gain insights on identity, inclusion, innovation, enhancing creativity, meditation and relaxation.
Humber College is committed to providing a learning, working and living environment that respects and reflects the diversity within the student population and our local and global communities. In developing Humber’s Institutional Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Framework and Strategy, the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion re-established Humber’s Employment Equity Program (EEP). One of the steps in the EEP is to conduct an Employment Systems Review (ESR). The ESR Project will be conducted under the direction of the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion and Humber’s Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion Committee.
The ESR examines employment policies, practices and organizational culture to identify systemic barriers to inclusion faced by Indigenous Peoples and individuals from equity-deserving groups in the Humber workforce. The ESR findings will support Humber to develop evidence-based strategies to create, implement and sustain the organizational change process necessary to increase equity, diversity and inclusion throughout all levels of the College.
The key project activities are a review of Humber’s employment systems policies and programs, consultations with key stakeholders and the development of an Employment Equity Plan. This will be supported by a communication strategy to educate, inform and engage employees.
In these meetings, the consultants will ask about the organizational culture at Humber and how the human resources employment policies and procedures can be enhanced. They will seek your suggestions on possible changes to advance EDI at the College. Information provided to the consultants will be reported in aggregate form.
Thank you to all who attended the first ESR Focus Group Open Session.
Two additional ESR Focus Group Open Sessions have been scheduled with the consultants:
Please note: Multiple ESR Focus Groups will be held with the consultants. To enable as many faculty and staff participation in these focus groups, kindly attend only one ESR Focus Group meeting.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.
Sincerely,
Nancy Simms M.A. ADR
Director, Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion and Lead, EDI Taskforce

Join Arboretum staff online for a casual conversation about nature.
Tune in to the Nature Exchange every second Wednesday to hear members of the Humber Arboretum's Nature Interpretation team share stories and answer your questions about the wild plants and animals of the GTA. You are welcome to join the conversation or just listen in.
The theme for this Nature Exchange is: Nature and Accessibility
Spending time in nature can be great for the body, mind, and soul. But what are some of the barriers that deter or prevent people from enjoying time in nature? And what can we do to help remove those barriers? We'll be chatting about nature and accessibility, looking at examples from the Arboretum and elsewhere.
This is a free, drop-in event open to all.
No registration is required. You can learn more about the Nature Exchange on the Arboretum website, or simply join the event on November 24 at 2 p.m.
Please note that this event will be recorded and may be shared online after the fact.
