Just Another Normal Day

Today I did my usual good deed and contribution to the building, I washed the windows for the tenants on my floor and they were appreciative…N5 that Ingrid :P  Also this morning as I was preparing my bucket & squeegee I saw two staff members in the hall wearing white contamination coveralls complete with boot covers...so you know what that means eh! and it wasn't a fashion statement.  For now I won't be acknowledging UNH's outreach worker Charles Jacobs, even though he apologized for failing to work on my lease renewal last year I believe he ignored it on purpose per Janis or Ingrid's instructions.  I find his role as an tenant advocate extremely limited, during a unit inspection all he did was stand near my sink when the Super needed help and what's worse recently he gave me the brush off twice over important tenant issues I wanted to address.  I’ve come to the conclusion he’s the “Acting HSC’s ass kisser.”  Make sure you bring lots of chapstick to work Charles.
Oh Guess what!  Later on today I noticed the Crazy Cat Lady hanging around in the hallway again and this time she was eavesdropping on the office staff’s conversation while pretending she’s taking her cat for a walk (you should see this cat it looks frighten when she puts it out in the hall.)  Oh well, it serves the office right for being naive & stupid thinking this woman is "just walking her pet" :P 
There’s talk going around that we have a tenant making a play for all the single older men in the building and now she’s working her way to Dunduran Care Centre.  A warning to the male residence across the street, hide your wallets and be sure to get all your shots. :D
Like I said, just another normal day in the land of Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou.

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
