Happy Anniversary, Hamilton Native Housing.

Today’s date will live in infamy it was the beginning of the end for KMHC, it was time for the public to know their shameful ways. The blogs have grown from a few sentences to 3 or more paragraphs and I enjoyed writing every one and I have no regrets. According to my stats this is the 100^th blog so today I’m going to keep it light & jovial by showing a cartoon of HSC Ingrid Nosel & her goofy looking husband in the morning.

My version of Ingrid and John. :D

Tenant funny moments:

When Holy Moses gave Spencer a hug at his sobriety luncheon Spencer said to him “It’s ok..I’m not going anywhere”. :D

One time at a presentation Norma started laughing at Ingrid as she stood at the entrance door, Ingrid was totally baffled and you could tell she was uncomfortable. I think Norma noticed Ingrid had toilet paper trailing from the back of her pants again. ;) LOL

One afternoon I was chatting with a few tenants in the community room while watching the AFN voting when Delores said to me “Tony would you like to be Chief of this place?” I said “No Freakin Way! There are too many Chiefs around here and not enough Indians”…We all had a big laugh over that.

Tenant Deano…what a funny character when we’re walking along the street or in the hallway we sometimes poke fun and crack jokes about the staff & select tenants who annoy us. All the way from Charles beer gut to Ingrid’s flabby arms to Teresa’s "monkey walk" dance. :D…

Once again I thank all the readers who drop by, coffee & cake are being served in the foyer. :)

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 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...

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
