Treaties Recognition Week takes place the first week of November to honour the importance of treaties and encourage Ontarians to learn about treaty rights and relationships. During this week, Humber’s Indigenous Education and Engagement and Humber Libraries’ will highlight resources to support treaty education as we acknowledge treaty rights, responsibilities and relationships.

Each November, Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast celebrate the importance of accessing meaningful work and all those that help us in connecting with our preferred futures. Canada Career Month works to advance the agenda of improving access to career services and education so that all Canadians are better prepared to develop their careers and transition into the emergent labour market.

Join Humber College as we host our first-ever Virtual Career Month in November 2020, with a calendar full of events for students, including:

•  resume, cover letter, networking and interview workshops
