The Story of Gratitude Hall

Humber College, geographically and historically, is tied to the Humber River. It is uniquely situated along the watershed, which historically provided an integral connection and meeting ground known as Adobigok or Place of the Alders in the Objibwe language for aboriginal peoples between the lakeshore of Ontario and the Lake Simcoe-Georgian Bay region. 

Bordering the North campus, the Humber River meanders south towards Lakeshore campus and eventually converges with Lake Ontario. All three campuses boast unique and engaging green spaces for student and faculty enjoyment.

The Humber College Donor Wall takes inspiration from these green spaces and the river itself. As a whole, the donor wall becomes like the river. Each tile represents a single stone in the riverbed, influencing and directing the flow of the water creating an ever-changing, shimmering surface.

Gratitude HallOne that forms a memorable image and larger metaphor for the College. Like stones in a riverbed, our donors and alumni represent the foundation of the river supporting and influencing Humber students. Represented by the water and channeled by the riverbed, our students are able to flow through the College to pursue their dreams and advance in their career journey. While each individual element can stand alone, they create something remarkable together.
