See our guidelines atWorking for a summer as a housekeeper at a luxurious wilderness resort in the Rocky Mountains, I spent hours kneeling on sticky tiles, scrubbing the insides of toilet bowls with a grimy brush and bottle of spray.
One particularly depressing evening, during a turn-down shift when housekeepers offer bed-making services and water bottles to guests, a man answered his door and listened intently to my offer of “evening services.” You won’t be surprised to learn that I spent much of that summer crying and drinking, often at the same time. Surrounded by beautiful, snow-capped mountains and glittering aquamarine lakes, I should have been revelling in my youth and relative freedom. I’d graduated university, was living essentially rent-free in one of Canada’s most revered landscapes and was surrounded by hundreds of young, attractive people with whom I could potentially forge connections.
There was also beauty in that summer. Standing on top of a mountain offers momentary relief from whatever hardships life can bring, and I found solace in the freshness of the air and free-spiritedness of the people I met. I have fond memories of listening to nineties music in my friends’ van and dressing up for Halloween in the middle of July. I canoed on beautiful lakes and bought eclectic clothes at a dingy thrift store.

New Normal: This is how COVID-19 could change cleaning foreverThis viral pandemic will change forever how we clean and disinfect hospitals, long-term care homes, schools, stores, offices, and even our homes, says a veteran director of environmental services in health-care settings. CTVNews.ca is launching New Normal, a series looking at how life will change in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. I would like more emphasis on people using the retail stores, example Walmart as an outing. Shame on Walmart for allowing the whole store to be shopped! Disgusting greedy behaviour. Bleach is much cheaper than wipes, and you can keep rinsing your cloth in it. Wipes, as they are used and dry, quit working and start spreading. Restaurants regularly use bleach to disinfect surfaces. More could,might,maybe articles from fake news ctv.

A parent’s guide to online learning platformsAs of Monday, April 6, provinces are beginning to roll out their remote learning programs, adding to the list of new things parents and students will have to adapt to. Fersure! Unless you can’t breathe, then... Thanks for the recommendations, but my IT department just outlawed the use of Zoom for meetings due to privacy and malware issues so I wouldn't trust it at home either.

Ontario students begin e-learning as COVID-19 closures continueStudents across Ontario begin online learning today, more than three weeks after COVID-19 shuttered schools in the name of physical distancing. Some virus will remain airborne. 2 M distancing is not enough. Wearing a mask or handmade one, or using alcohol, detergent, and eye drops like me. My simple, powerful secret methods for the coronavirus or flu virus are very effective. Ridiculous! Received a notice saying MANDATORY.... however.... special needs students require specialized equipment, assistance in the classroom, etc..! In some cases single parents are trying to keep the house running and/or don’t have the ability to help the child! No. E-Learning is something planned and designed for an entire year of carefully monitored course work. This is emergency remote teaching.
