An Observation, Not A Bulletin

I’m enjoying the summer it’s been easy going around here and I do my bit to assist my fellow tenants when needed and it’s appreciated.  :)
Now on to the good stuff:  The crazy cat lady has stopped being an annoyance in the hallway, she spends most of her time terrorizing the people across the street.  I don’t know if it’s the hot weather but last week the Super approached me and asked if I was pulling weeds out of the garden, I said to her No! and thought why the fuck would I do that.  It’s always a delight to chat-chat and share a few laughs with office staff Lorraine and trainee Jessica about the mundane.  Re: my neighbour and friend Deano sometimes I don't understand his way of thinking but he has good intentions. :)  Today I dropped by UNH’s office to do some business and I noticed the staff wandering and hanging around the reception area checking me out.  Jeez! Wouldn’t you know it once the Director saw me, she turned and hid in a back room then a male office employee called out her cab is waiting, I thought “CAB!”  This woman really does have her hand in the cookie jar.  Obviously she’s been reading my blogs she just walked by with her nose in the air and ignored me. :D
A good bye to Mr. Ken Fitzsimmons even though I never got the chance to test out his driving skills he has a  comedic personality and dressed well for the job.  Now I know you're waiting for a comment about the acting HSC…not much to say about Ingrid she sits in her office with the lights off and burns tea candles and periodically come out to use the washroom, such an impressive job. 
A member of the Tenant Association asked if I would help advertise their upcoming yard sale/fundraiser via the internet and I agreed, I’m more then happy to help out and a memo to UNH’s.....the proceeds are for tenant programs I don’t want to hear that a staff member dipped into the pot for cab fares and fancy luncheons at Hess Village. :P 

I will be posting the ad next week…stay tuned.

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...
