The following message was sent to students on September 11.
Dear students,
As of 12:01 a.m. today, full-time support staff at all 24 Ontario Polytechnics and colleges, including Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber, are on strike. All classes are running, and all Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber campuses are open.
Any changes to course delivery will be communicated by faculty through email and Blackboard. Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) classes and the Real Estate program will also continue.
The University of Guelph-Humber courses will also continue to run, with any delivery changes communicated directly to students.
Any classes at Humber or Guelph-Humber that move online will return to in-person delivery at the conclusion of the strike.
While we are unable to predict how long the strike may last, please know that Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to student success, and we will ensure that all students have the opportunity to achieve their learning goals in a timely manner. At this point, there is no impact on student work placements (with limited exceptions that would be communicated directly) or Humber’s participation in offsite events.
Humber campuses, offices and locations, and the University of Guelph-Humber will remain open during the strike. A list of open and operating services can be found here: humber.ca/updates.
Anyone travelling to/from campus should expect delays and plan accordingly. The union has established picket lines at campus entrances.
Please familiarize yourself with the picket line guidelines. If you are not allowed through the picket line, or if you feel threatened, do not attempt to force your way in. Avoid and do not engage in any arguments and any type of altercation. If you have safety concerns, please contact Public Safety at 416.675.4008 (emergency) or 416.675.8500 (non-emergency).
We know this is a challenging time. Students who are experiencing mental health challenges may utilize the following resources for support throughout the strike:
