Visit the Lakeshore campus for four unique activities as part of Humber’s participation in Doors Open Toronto.

  1. Humber’s Fashion Institute will be displaying the exhibit “Fashion through the Ages”, an engaging look into fashion trends of the past. Originally the old Almont Hotel, the building is now home to the Fashion Management degree and The Fashion Management & Promotions postgraduate certificate program. This year's exhibit will feature a collection of fashion from the past 100 years, including a select number of vintage athletic wear, women's swimsuits, golf attire and tennis ensembles in a tribute to the upcoming Pan Am games.
  2. Take a tour of the tunnel system underneath the Lakeshore campus with Humber professor Steve Bang (register at humbertour.eventbrite.ca). Professor Bang will lead visitors on an extensive tour through the tunnel system underneath Humber's historic Cottages, opened in 1889, and along the Lakeshore campus grounds. This informative and engaging tour will provide a glimpse into Lakeshore's past as the home of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. Tours will be approximately 1 hour in length.
  3. Learn about the fascinating history of the Lakeshore grounds with a stop at the L Space Gallery’s exhibit “Visualizing Absence”. This immersive exhibit will bring to life the stories of the Lakeshore grounds by utilizing a variety of techniques such as image transferring, tracing, installation, film and sonic interpretation. This exhibition is presented in partnership with artist Anne Zbitnew and students from Humber's Arts Administration program. A free opening reception will take place from 3 pm to 5 pm on Saturday. The L Space Gallery will also be offering guided tours of Humber College's art collection at Noon & 2:00pm.

Visualizing Absence: Memorializing the histories of the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds is an art-based research project led by Anne Zbitnew in collaboration with other artists and students from the Arts Administration and Cultural Management program at Humber College. The project gathers many perspectives from the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds, which is now home to Humber College Lakeshore, Colonel Samuel Smith Park, and various community organizations. Collaborators reflected on the hidden and lost stories and memories that make up the history of Etobicoke’s Lakeshore Grounds.  Artists used a variety of methods and media in response to the appropriation of the Aboriginal land and the stereotype, stigma and the objectification of psychiatric survivors.
