Join Us for the 2025 President’s BBQ!
Come together with the Humber community in the LRC Courtyard at North Campus (beside Gratitude Hall) for the 2025 President’s BBQ.
This year, meals will be served in blue Friendlier containers. For every container returned, a portion will be donated to the Humber Student Food Security Fund—a small act that makes a big difference. To help reduce waste, we encourage you to bring your own reusable mug or cup to enjoy refreshments.
In support of Humber’s Spring Food Drive, we invite you to bring a non-perishable food item to contribute to the Grab ‘n Go Food Banks, which will continue to support our community throughout the summer. The Spring Food Drive is a proud partnership between the Library, Faculty Union, Support Staff Union, and Career & Advising Services.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Pride Month 2025 at Humber Polytechnic: All In – Honouring Every Path to Pride
This Pride Month, Humber proudly celebrates the diverse, vibrant, and resilient 2SLGBTQIA+ communities that make our campus stronger. Our 2025 theme, All In: Honouring Every Path to Pride, invites us to recognize the many journeys to identity, love, and liberation—and to celebrate them all with intention and joy.
All In is more than a theme, it’s a call to action. We’re inviting everyone in our Humber and Guelph-Humber community to not only stand in solidarity, but to actively participate in building a future rooted in justice, love, and equality. Because when we’re all in, everyone belongs.
Join us for the Opening Ceremonies & Flag Raising
Date: Tuesday, June 3
Time: 12 – 1:30 p.m.
Location: Lakeshore Campus, Welcome Centre
Note: For those unable to make it to Lakeshore Campus there will also be a small flag raising at North Campus at 12 p.m.
The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (EDIB) and the LGBTQ+ Resource Centre invite you to kick off Pride Month in community. Together, we’ll raise both the Pride and Trans flags to honour the many paths to pride and the diversity within our communities. Come celebrate, connect with others, and enjoy light refreshments as we launch a month dedicated to visibility, reflection, and joy.
We also acknowledge that Pride takes place on Indigenous lands, and that Pride Month takes place during National Indigenous History Month. We believe that reclaiming Indigenous two-spirit identities and traditions is central to the ongoing process of reconciliation and decolonization of 2SLGBTQIA+ movements.
Throughout June, the Office of EDIB and the LGBTQ+ Resource Centre will host a series of events, learning opportunities, and community spaces centring queer joy, resistance, and belonging. From panels and creative workshops to campus activations, we’ll be lifting up every path that leads to pride.
We welcome collaborations from across Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber! If you’d like to contribute to this year’s celebrations, please reach out to lgbtq@humber.ca and edib@humber.ca by May 16.
Stay tuned for our full lineup of events—and join us in going ALL IN. Because when we honour every path, we create a Humber where everyone belongs.
