Humber College launches a new continuing education course, Summer Studio SITUATE | DESIGN | BUILD which positions the school as a forward-thinker in urban design, architecture, and craft. This class will take up residency in the L Space gallery from July 14 to August 15, 2014.

The gallery will be transformed into an exhibition and workshop space where the community can contribute their vision for Toronto’s Ward 6, Etobicoke-Lakeshore. The Lakeshore Campus will be enhanced through various building experiments which integrate into the surrounding environment. Prototypes for community gardens, heritage gazebos, and laneway sites will act as the basis for potential community urban design projects.

Exhibition Dates: July 14 to August 15, 2014

Community Extended Hours: July 17, 2014 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, August 9, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Humber College Writing Centre would like to invite you to the Summer 2014 Book Club. We are reading Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer's book "All The Broken Things", and Kathryn will be joining us in person on Thursday July 10, 2014 at 12 p.m.

Kathryn is the author of the novels All The Broken Things, Perfecting, and The Nettle Spinner, as well as, the story collection, Way Up. She has published in  Granta  Magazine, The Walrus and Storyville,  among others. She teaches creative writing and is currently a student of literature.

Synopsis of "All The Broken Things"
September, 1983. Fourteen-year-old Bo, a boat person from Vietnam, lives in a small house in the Junction neighbourhood of Toronto with his mother, Thao, and his four-year-old sister, who was born severely disfigured from the effects of Agent Orange. Named Orange, she is the family secret; Thao keeps her hidden away. One day a carnival worker and bear trainer, Gerry, sees Bo in a streetfight, and recruits him for the bear wrestling circuit, eventually giving him his own cub to train. All the Broken Things is a spellbinding novel, at once melancholy and hopeful, about the peculiarities that divide us and bring us together, and the human capacity for love and acceptance.

Faculty, staff, and students are all encouraged to be a part of the event. Refreshments will be served.

Copies of the book will be available in the Humber Bookstore.
