Default ProLab 8 hr Mold Certification

For those Canadians who did not get to the ProLab course in Toronto this could be your chance to take it close to home at Buffalo.
I and many others enjoyed it .

How much can you carry .
The North American free trade act did away with duties on goods made in North America.
Most groceries have no taxes .
The Taxes you might have to pay are exactly the same taxes you would pay shopping at wall Mart in Canada GST & PST
.
Do not tell Mom this or she might by more then you can get in your CAR . many things are cheaper in the USA example I just bought a Kodack Camera here it was $189:00 Canadian I paid $89:00 us = ± $106:00 Canadian.
Computers I found cheaper here but Camera Cards Cheaper there by a huge amount $19:00 as Canada $60:00.
Forget the money go and enjoy Great people and endless things we do not have . Most larger store take Canadian Money.

If any of you that are attending would like any tips (in addition to these) first tip is don't cross at the Queenston / Lewiston Bridge as it's too busy this time of year. Go straight to Fort Erie and cross at the Peace Bridge. Tip # 2 if you have a freezer you can stock up on so much food that is cheaper (BY FAR) then in Canada (like boneless Chicken breast). The other super cheap item is Dairy products - THERE IS NO COMPARISON - Less then 1/2 price easily!! and...... there is NO duty on groceries since they are tax exempt in both countries you could buy as much as you want (almost). Some small exceptions like 2 frozen turkeys, 2 dozen eggs, that king of thing. While you're at it bring back a 12 pack of Genessee Cream Ale cans from Wegmans for $4.99!! Customs are fine with 12 or less beer since the duty would be next to nothing anyway. I had to say this because living in Niagara Falls I do all my Grocery, Beer and Gas shopping in the states. Also if you smoke you can buy cigarettes at Smoking Joes (an Indian Reservation) in Lewiston, New York for $1.00 a pack or $6.95 a carton. You can also fill up their for $2.24 a gallon U.S. This place is about 5 miles from the U.S. / Canada Border. Have fun taking the course and take advantage of the deals!

Don,

Just kidding! That is a great deal for a hotel room.
I missed the one in Toronto and hope to make it to Buffalo for this one. Depends on work schedule etc. Thanks.
