Join your colleagues from the Humber Harm Reduction Partnership (HHaRP) for a discussion about cannabis, young people's use of cannabis, and the impact of cannabis legalization. This 1.5-hour event will have lots of time for you to ask questions you may have about the topic. Humber's specific cannabis policies will not be the focus of this discussion.

This event features a presentation by Dr. Daniel Bear from the Criminal Justice program in the School of Social and Community Services. 

Tickets are available here. 

This event is open to Humber faculty, staff, and administration only. No outside attendees please.

  • How much money do I need for retirement?
  • How much pension will I get?
  • Is my pension secure?
  • What do I do to start my retirement?

Have any of these questions crossed your mind? If so, you should attend the upcoming CAAT Pension Plan’s retirement planning session (offered at both Lakeshore and North campuses). You’ll learn about the plan’s flexible retirement date options, valuable survivor benefits, and inflation protection. The session uses real world examples and retirement planning tips to help ensure a smooth transition to retirement.

This session will benefit members of any age, yet we strongly encourage all members over 50 to attend.

We are here to support you, so please bring any questions you may have. Our pension experts will be available to answer your questions. This session is open to all full-time and part-time employees in the CAAT Pension Plan.

The year 2018 was when long-simmering concerns about the potential negative effects of technology on our economy, on our personal lives and even on our democracy broke into public debate. But what is behind this reaction? In this lecture, Dr. Owen will explain how companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google went from universally loved to the source of serious questions about the integrity of our society and democracy. What should our governments, and we as citizens, do to respond?
