As part of our goal of becoming the healthiest campus in Canada, Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber became smoke-free as of January 1, 2019. In keeping with Humber’s Smoke-Free Campus Policy, smoking of any kind, including smoking tobacco and cannabis products as well as e-cigarettes/vaping, is now prohibited on all Humber property.  Members of the Humber community who want to smoke will need to leave campus property to do so.

For those interested in quitting or reducing their tobacco consumption, Toronto Public Health (TPH) offers smoking cessation workshops. Eligible participants will attend a cost-free workshop, presented by a TPH nurse, which consists of a one-hour educational presentation, one-on-one counselling, and a five-week supply of nicotine replacement therapy. 

The next available Toronto Public Health Smoking Cessation workshops are:

Get started with native plant gardening with this free Etobicoke Master Gardeners workshop at the Humber Arboretum!

Native plants are those plants which occur naturally in an area, having evolved locally alongside each other and with the native wildlife. They are a fundamental part of local ecology, and without them many other species cannot survive.

Native plant gardens offer many benefits both to gardeners and the environment: 

  • each new patch of native plants helps build a habitat network that can improve wildlife survival
  • native plants often require less water and less maintenance overall once established
  • they provide food and shelter for wildlife, such as birds and insects
  • attracting birds, butterflies, and other wildlife brings life to your outdoor spaces
  • replacing lawn with native plants reduces or eliminates the need to run a lawnmower
  • many native plants change throughout the seasons, offering a variety of colourful flowers, fruit and foliage

Take part in this free workshop and start making your native gardening plans for spring. 

How: This event is free but please register in advance through the Arboretum website
