The Trading Post

In my previous blog titled “Arts & Crafts Christmas Extravaganza” I suggested KM use the trading posts available in the downtown area to advertise fundraising events. 
Yesterday I was walking downtown and I noticed someone from the office must have brought out the duct tape and actually got off their ass and walked around and taped leaflets on the trading posts.  Well done……It’s about time they listened to our suggestions if not in person at least on print.  Since I never received any recognition for my original ingenious idea I’ll be expecting a cut in the profits, a large order of scone, soup and a drink will be sufficient. :)

That was my second guess...a tenant may have used the trading posts, good for you Debbie for taking the initiative. By the way I knew all this time you've been reading and discussing my blogs with the other tenants....How? because they told me and that's fine I have no problem with that, the more the merrier. :)
I would still like a free large order of scone, soup and a drink...to go. ;) LOL

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
