LABATT RECOGNIZES HUMBER THROUGH ENDOWMENT
Etobicoke North MP Roy Cullen commitment to community honoured through one of the two scholarships

TORONTO, May 12, 2005 - Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning today received an endowment from Labatt Breweries of Canada that will fund two annual scholarships in perpetuity to deserving students. The endowment also recognizes Etobicoke North MP Roy Cullen's service to the Etobicoke community.

The $100,000 endowment will provide one-year tuition scholarships for one student in each of the following categories:
§ The Honourable Roy Cullen, P.C.-Labatt Breweries of Canada Community of Etobicoke Scholarship, recognizing commitment to community service, as well as financial need;
§ The Labatt Breweries of Canada Scholarship in the School of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism for a student in this field of study demonstrating academic excellence and financial need.

"The establishment of these scholarships by Labatt will be of great benefit to future Humber students, and of even greater value now that the provincial government has announced funding to be provided annually to match funds raised by Ontario colleges and universities for student financial assistance, which could substantially raise the value of this gift," said Dr. Robert A. Gordon, President, Humber. "The Honourable Roy Cullen, P.C., M.P. has been a great friend of, and has worked tirelessly for, Humber and this community. We're pleased to join Labatt in honouring him today."

"Labatt has a long-standing tradition of supporting young people, and over the years
has provided opportunities for thousands of Canadian students to acquire the skills

and experiences that will enable them to become future leaders," said Charlie Angelakos, Director of Corporate Affairs (Ontario), Labatt Breweries of Canada. "We are proud to recognize the commitment to leadership and community involvement that Roy Cullen exemplifies - values that are honoured and shared by Labatt.

As Canada's leading brewer, it gives us great pride also to support the continued study in the areas of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism. Our hope in establishing this scholarship is that the best and brightest students entering this important and exciting field will be able to develop themselves at Humber without being discouraged because of financial need."

"This very generous contribution by Labatt Breweries of Canada recognizes the excellent educational programs that Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning offers to students in Etobicoke North and across Canada, said The Honourable Roy Cullen, P.C., M.P. "It is a great honour to be recognized in this way by two such well-respected organizations".
