Food...it’s a great way for people to interact, socialize and have a good time,
when the European settlers came to North America
they were offered food from the Natives not expecting anything in return, a sign of our great ancient hospitality.
:)
Boy! Times have changed since way back then today I was privately informed by a staff member when KM provide snacks or light meals to the tenants they must fully participate in all programs
ie: bingo, seminars and meetings or they will be banned from future events. I can recall many times during a program some tenants will walk out
either because they are bored or too tired to sit any longer. Gawd! Even the person who gave me the news knew this was lame, I mean all this fuss over a couple of sandwich wraps. :P
I'm totally ashamed how the elderly natives are treated in this place.....a majority of tenants are on a fixed income barely making ends meet, I believe when a non profit organization offers to feed a group of tenants it should be unconditional. I will never understand KM Housing Service Coordinator’s way of thinking, I say bring back former HSC Mr. Allen Pelletier now he was a man of the people.
Anyway the good news is I figured out a plan...We can bring our own lunch then we can come and go as we please. Sort of like a Tenants Only pot luck event. :)
In regards to the importance of food, recently a new tenant moved in the building we were chatting with the newbie and she mentioned she didn't have any food. Immediately I and another tenant gathered what we could spare from our cupboards and offered it to her unconditionally. :)
October 3, 2011 Today there is a note posted on the bulletin board Denise Maracle the person who told me about the new rule is no longer with the organization. Coincidence perhaps?...I don't think so her contract was to end on November 28th and now she's gone. I wish her well.
