About Us
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion (Centre) provides human rights and equity programs and services to the Humber Community. All
Centre initiatives integrate a holistic framework that extends beyond binaries and addresses the simultaneity of the individual’s identities and
experiences. This intersectional and integrative approach grounded in a practice of care is woven throughout the Centre’s programs and services.
