Hamilton Indigenous Housing

We had a tenant/staff Easter dinner a few days ago. it was the first time I really had a good time interacting with my fellow tenants. And I made potato salad for the gang. :) Ingrid was there so this gave me the opportunity to ask her a question, whenever there's a function going on why do they take pictures of us without our permission, Are we being exploited?  Used for propaganda?. All of a sudden her face got serious and she replied they are shown to the supporters of UNH's and if we don't want photos taken we have to ask.  I was taken back by her response, where I come from people ask permission first. :P

Well folks at the last minute we got a note under the door the tenant meeting was cancelled due to Ingrid being sick, but we went ahead with the pot luck luncheon.  I had a good time...finally we all got the chance to chit chat with the new outreach workers, I must say they both have potential.  Jan Porter & I have a private chat the day before and talked out a few issues.  I didn't want to attend the meeting with a chip on my shoulder and possibly freak out in public. :P  Out of all tenants in the building only 6 (including myself) showed up for the meeting.  There are many reasons why this happened, but I'm going to save that post for another day.
