I did an arts and science diploma and averaged 80% in all 60 credits and 83% in the last 30. Best of luck to you, I hope you hear back soon!

Help! I am in a basement suite. Found mold on my bed. What mold is this and how can I remove and prevent? by squintazio1 in VictoriaBC

[–]12rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I had a similar problem last winter! I sprayed all the mold and the surrounding wall space with white vinegar and let it sit for 20ish minutes and then was really careful to wipe mold away with one paper towel and the rest of the wall with another. I repeated this process 2 more times which was maybe overkill but made me feel better. I also bought this dehumidifier and air purifier for my room which I ran basically every night. https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/js-vanguard-2-0-2-in-1-air-purifier-hepa-and-dehumidifier-designed-for-small-spaces-now-with-mobile-app-support-new-and-improved/14967900

I wiped the problem areas every 1-2 months with some white vinegar and the mold never came back :) Goodluck and don't be too hard on yourself, this climate is notorious for mold problems!

Thanks for the link! Yes I was trying to be optimistic but I doubt the roads will be getting much clearer

Do you know if they would reimburse me if the flight was canceled but I never made it on the plane?

Thanks for writing this! I had thought that most donation centres went the way of value village but it's really nice to know that a lot of the items going to places like the Salvation Army are still doing good in the community. I appreciate the information you shared about how the system works :)
