Humber College students were able to gain a global perspective by connecting with peers at post-secondary institutions abroad through a pair of virtual exchanges.

Humber College students are helping with a project that’s working to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas churches emit.

Net Zero Churches began with the Canadian Anglican dioceses of Montreal and Niagara. Their goal is to stop churches from producing greenhouse gases by changing the building’s mechanical systems while also reducing energy use and costs.

“We want other churches to get involved”

Humber College and Siemens Canada have developed a Sustainable Microgrid and Renewable Technology (SMART) Lab that will be used to teach students about microgrids.

Microgrids are systems that reliably manage the generation, storage and consumption of energy. Essentially, they’re small-scale power grids that can operate on their own or as part of a larger grid.
