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.  :)

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee.   You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case.   March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC.   There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time.   Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job.  Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic.   Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct.  There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before.  After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost.  When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go.  I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
