Grim Reaper & Other Strange Things

Grim Reaper, The Symbol Of Death
This has been an unusual week in the land of KMHC first off the passing of a tenant who I disliked, the Crazy Cat Lady has used up all her 9 lives and is now in another place.  So who will look after the cat!  I suggest the acting HSC Ingrid since she has a flair in feeding cats. Check out the cartoon in my previous blog “Achilles’ Heel “and you’ll know what I mean.  KMHC held a small luncheon for the deceased but I didn’t attend, it didn’t seem appropriate because we didn't like each other plus I’m not a hypocrite.
The other night vandalism had struck the building someone who the Super referred to as a “scone” apparently shattered the glass at the front entrance. I knew what she meant its slang for “native person”.  I had my windows open and I did hear something strange like breaking glass but from my vantage point I can’t see the front entrance. Whoever it was must have issues with the KMHC office or a tenant.
A reliable source outside the building informed me a fellow tenant who I consider a friend went on a wild splurge & I was worried, the good news is….the person is ok and back safe in their unit. :)
We have a mystery - Where is the lovely Miss Lorraine B?  They claim she's sick, come on now 2 weeks away from work!  If I don't see a living breathing person soon I'm reporting this to the missing persons bureau and holding the acting HSC accountable.  Since I’ve been here the KMHC office has a habit of keeping their basement office door open so I see everything when I walk by.  So today was no different I saw Ingrid sitting at a desk talking on the phone while wearing dark sunglasses. Why is that strange you ask?  At any time there is no sunlight in the basement offices. :P

The summer is coming to a close and the autumn season is upon us, this is the time when nature rapidly wilts and starts to age, sort of like the UNH’s Director Janis and the acting HSC Ingrid.  ZING!

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...

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...

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...
