Boring Tenant Meeting


When former employee Denise M. informed me the office doesn’t like me to eat their food I thought "K-M can shove the food up their ass". At the last moment I decided I'm going to attend the tenant meeting I showed up just as it was about to begin and I brought my own coffee. The meeting started off with a glitch there were papers being shuffled about and the tenants didn’t know what was what.  Soon after Lorraine B. began by asking if we had questions about the previous meeting, if course nobody said a word who gives a shit what was said 3 months ago.
The Super did a good presentation in regards to maintenance and was willing to answer all questions and the olde gal was demoted to record the proceedings.
What was on the agenda you ask?  For me there was nothing of real importance or interest with the exception of sport tickets that may be available from time to time.  Lorraine B. went on about about rules and don’t do this and don’t touch that and don't look there and we’re watching you etc. *Rolls Eyes* 
I cornered her on a few questions where she just looked at me like a deer staring at car headlights.  I swear UNH’s you’re making this woman anal retentive.
Like Holy Moses said "It's the same old shit every meeting and nothing ever changes" and he's been a tenant 4 years. Which reminds me when I first arrived here Ingrid said at our interview "it's mandatory that all show up for tenant meetings" I later questioned this rule I examined my lease and handbook, I asked around and no such rule exists. BUSTED! See Ingrid this is what happens when you bullshit.
The tenants - You gotta love these people most don’t take the meeting seriously and are only there for the food.  LOL
*High Fives* to Mr. Gerry B. he’s an easy going outreach worker who's always ready to talk about the native ways, it’s too bad he’s here for a short time. 
The best part of the meeting was at the end, this is when I helped myself to what was left on the food table, mind you the food was cold.  You wait…I’ll be getting a letter under my door from the office complaining I ate the food they bought at the day old section at Food Basics. :P

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...
