Please join us as we help Dalyce Newby celebrate her well-deserved retirement after an incredible 40 years of service to Humber learners and the greater Humber community.

Throughout her time at Humber, Dalyce has worked in various roles including:

• Buyer, Accounts Payable, Clerk

For the past 32 years, Dalyce's focus has been on supporting international students during their transition to life in Canada.

In her spare time, Dalyce is a historian and a published author with vast knowledge of freedom seekers and the underground railroad, as well as black history both in Canada and the US. 

We hope you'll join us as we recognize her accomplishments and share in her joy.

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are excited to launch our Food Strategy which is located on the Healthy Community Hub. The Food Strategy has been developed after extensive consultation with the community and will be a document that informs the approach to food across our campuses through six guiding principles (located on page 7 of the Food Strategy and Vision). The strategy continues our institutions’ commitments to fostering healthy and inclusive environments that support learning and develop a sense of belonging. 

To read the full Humber Food Strategy Document please visit the HealthyYou website.

To learn about how the strategy was created and be further engaged in the new approach to food on campus, register to attend the Food Strategy Town Hall on December 5 at 1 p.m.

Thank you, 

The Food Strategy Working Group
