Humber’s Support Staff Union (Local 563) would like to congratulate Tony Hung on his retirement from Humber.

Tony’s passion for his work, his advocacy of Humber’s Chinese community, and penchant for challenging students to ping-pong matches will be greatly missed!

Please join us in wishing Tony well as he starts a new chapter in his life. We know he will be happy to see you there on March 26, 2019 at the Humber Room from 3 p..m to 5 p.m.

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!
