As you may know, one of our Lakeshore residence students passed away early this morning. I know I join the entire Humber community in expressing my deep sadness at this tragedy.

Humber is working with Toronto Police Services to support their ongoing investigation. Please be assured that at no time was there a public safety risk to the community.

We are offering counselling for students onsite at the Lakeshore residence. Students can access support through the Lakeshore residence front desk and by contacting 416-675-6622 ext. 3331 at Lakeshore and ext. 5090 at the North Campus for additional support.

For employees looking for support, you can access our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) by contacting 1-800-467-9722. You can also find more information about the EAP here.

If you have any questions, please contact Jen McMillen, Dean of Students, at 416-574-7325. I would also ask that if you receive any media inquiries, please direct them to Andrew Leopold, Director of Communications, at 416-518-8989.

We have reached out to the family to offer condolences, and are respecting their right to privacy during this difficult time.
