On a snowy winter day in the woods, a young teen girl, her arm outstretched, smiles broadly as a chickadee eats from her hand.

Kids aged 5-12 are invited to start the new year with two full days of seasonal outdoor fun, led by the Humber Arboretum's Nature Interpreters. Give your child a chance to get outside and be active while they develop a lasting appreciation for the natural environment.

We'll explore the theme of winter survival, looking at animal tracks and signs, learning about warmth and shelter, and discovering all the wonder that winter has to offer.

Humber Arboretum Nature Camps are based out of the LEED Gold Certified Centre for Urban Ecology, but campers will spend most of their time outdoors making their own discoveries in the woodlands, meadows, and gardens of the Humber Arboretum, conveniently located at the back of Humber College North Campus.

Retirement Invitation for Betty Tam-Cheung

Retirement: Betty Tam-Cheung, Manager, Curriculum and Student Records 

After 36 years of outstanding service and dedication to the Humber community, Betty Tam-Cheung has decided to retire at the end of December 2019. 

Betty joined the Office of the Registrar in April 1983 and began working in the Student Records department. For many years, she was the sole keeper of the college’s curriculum, and has been a valuable and well-respected resource for all. For decades, Betty has been a cornerstone of all operations within the Office of the Registrar, and is renowned for always being the first one to lend a helping hand to anyone.

Her encouraging personality, dedication, and selfless hard work are an example for everyone to follow; and her vast knowledge of Humber history will be greatly missed by all.

We are sad to say goodbye to Betty, but we are happy that she can enjoy this next chapter of life with her family. Please join us in wishing Betty all the best in her retirement.

A farewell reception will be held in her honour on:
Friday, December 13, 2019
3 p.m. – 4 p.m.
North Campus, President’s Boardroom, LRC6104

This is a specialized Pathways to Human Rights Education & Action training specifically designed for support staff

The Centre is proud to offer a customized Pathways to Human Rights Education & Action training designed specifically for support staff based on the feedback received in the Program and Services Review conducted by the Centre in 2018.

Support staff are welcome to register for any of the above listed Support Staff Customized human rights trainings as well as any of the generic open sessions – Pathways to Human Rights Education and Action trainings that are listed on the attached flyer. The Centre recognizes the challenges faced by Support Staff attending training during the academic year and has provided several dates to provide flexible options.

The Centre has recently launched Humber’s updated Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedure. The Ontario Human Rights Commission requires that all employers provide ongoing education and training on the organization’s human rights policy. As such, all Humber employees (full-time, non-full time, work study) are required to update their knowledge of the Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedure.

Please note: All Humber employees who have attended a Humber Human Rights Training session prior to August 2018, are required to refresh their knowledge of Humber’s Human Rights Policy & Complaint Resolution Procedure.

The first training is scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the North Campus – lunch will be provided.

Kindly email sacha.ally@humber.ca if you are support staff and you wish to register (registration is required if you wish to attend).
