What is Fairtrade?
Fair Trade is a movement and a network of non-profit organizations that endeavors to improve the livelihoods of agricultural producers in developing countries by ensuring that producers receive a fair price for their products. These organizations set standards for Fairtrade Certified products, which are certified as being produced according to these standards. Learn more about Humber's involvement with the Fair Trade movement here.
Humber Music hosts a regular free noon concert series.
This week will showcase FreePlay Duo, with Dylan Bell and Suba Sankaran. Described as “inspired eclecticism,” Dylan and Suba will take you from the concert halls of Europe, to the jazz clubs of Manhattan, to the temples of India, and back to the cultural mosaic of Toronto, all without leaving your seat.
Both vocalists and multi-instrumentalists, Dylan and Suba combine and recombine styles and configurations to give a sound far larger than two people might suggest. A wide-ranging repertoire and a genuine desire to connect with people mean that the FreePlay Duo can create a program to engage any type of audience.

We need your help! Humber has always played an important role in saving lives. Every year Humber supports two blood drives at the Lakeshore Campus and four blood drives at the North Campus. Colleges are a vital part of our blood program, and your continued participation is critical in achieving and maintaining an adequate, stable supply of blood in Canada.
The need is ongoing, winter season is a challenging season, attendance tends to get low, cancellations of some clinics due to the increment weather, but the need for blood continues. The snow storm and weather last week and this week even made it more challenging resulting in some of the blood groups down to four to five day supply.
Your kindness will impact the lives of many patients. Thank you for paving the way for this to happen once again.
Together we can make a difference. Together we are Canada’s Lifeline!
