Love Thy Neighbour


.......Remember I said those words in my original blog?  Well something happened a while ago that surprised me I was approached by my little neighbour and she asked “if we could talk”…..I said ok.  Her intention was to make peace and I being a reasonable person agreed.  We don’t have to necessarily hang out with each other on a daily basis but at least be neighbourly and say hello when we pass each other in the building.  Cool Huh!
And a good luck to my neighbor above me, he's going through a rough time with his health at the moment. For years I've seen him around town always walking somewhere and keeping to himself. 
Now back to business, my rent has been paid on time for many months so here's my concern to UNH Inc. for the past month the building security lighting system is shut off?  Harvey the previous tenant who lived in my unit told me he was burglarized and the thieves walked out the front door with his belongings, so by trying to save a few bucks on hydro you're jeopardizing our safety.
It's official folks the olde gal in the office has finally lost it...re: the bulletin board located on my floor usually has posts of upcoming events and programs of interest for all tenants, not anymore only a selected few are told of what's up and coming.  What's on the board now you ask?  Word pages highlited and copied in small print from Wikipedia.  99.5 % of the tenants don't have a clue why it's there nor do they care.
Sorry olde gal I have a strict policy I don't read irrelevant material. :P

And a "see ya when you get back" to Mr. Jacobs he's taking temporary leave for personal reasons, you're a good man...and....a welcome back to Mr. Gerry B.  :)

Wigwamin Terrace

After many years I received a call for Toronto Native Housing offering a vacancy so I decided to explore my options by attending a viewing of what's available. But first I did a phone interview with acting project manager Paul Feitelberg. He said my personal and financial information checks out fine then we talked about the negative reference I got from Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services. I was asked for my side of the story and I also invited Paul to read this blog site to find out more who I am.  A few days later I called Paul for an update, I was complimented on my blog posts and he could see the love and compassion I have for the Native people on this blog site.  Due to the Hamilton cyber attack it was difficult for Paul get a reference from my current housing provider so with my assistance I helped him get in contact with their office. I received an excellent tenant reference from my housing provider. When I asked about OAHS he said he's going to ignore their negative re...

The Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou

I hope one day we can truly say there is a haven where older natives who experienced homelessness can find a place to call home and have the resources available for the best quality of life in their golden years. Koo Ga Da Win Manitou Housing Complex has a long journey in order to reach that goal. Perhaps more funding is needed or better trained/experienced outreach workers who can relate to tenants concerns and health issues. Programs that would interest all tenants as a whole would be nice. Most important we tenants must try to get along with their neighbours. (as the good book says "Love thy neighbour") I've been here less then a year and I've observed alot, we have a diversity of tenants living in the building from different reservations and walks of life. Some have problems with alcohol, prescription drug addictions, physical disabilities and slight mental disabilities. The one thing we all have in common is our health concerns, from chronic back pain to deadly...
