November is an important month for Indigenous education at Humber. National Indigenous Education Month is currently underway, and Humber’s annual Indigenous Knowledge Gathering events and initiatives are taking place this week. 

It’s also a perfect time to revisit Humber's 2021-2023 Indigenous Education Plan (IEP). This plan reiterates the college’s longstanding commitment to Indigenous learners, families, communities and organizations. 

The IEP supports the principles outlined in College’s and Institutes Canada's Indigenous Education Protocol, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Report and Calls to Action, and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 

To learn more about the IEP’s specific priorities, goals, and action items, please visit the following webpages:

Thank you to Humber’s Indigenous Education Council members, Elders, Indigenous Communities and Organizations, students, faculty, and staff.  

In addition, partnering colleges, universities and polytechnics, both nationally and internationally, have been integral to this plan’s development. 

All members of the Humber community have a place and role in the important work ahead. This work will create frameworks that will benefit all students, staff, faculty, administrators, and communities connected to Humber. 

We look forward to working with everyone on this critical work for the college and beyond.
