Tenant Meeting Minutes Aug. 22. 2012

As I mentioned in my previous blog titled “Achilles Heel” I was anxious to read the minutes report to see what would be fabricated and omitted on what really was said at the tenant meeting and Ingrid Nosel the acting HSC did not disappoint.  I truly believe this old woman is existing in a world of denial and I have no desire to acknowledge or believe anything she says in the future. To prove my point you readers are getting a scoop, I arranged to have the meeting voice recorded and is safely stored away, my training in security finally paid off. ;)  Tenant meetings at KMHC are sparse and far between so are they necessary?  I don’t think so. ie: The last meeting only 6 out of 24 tenants including myself showed up.  I remember a few years ago Ingrid went so far as to post a notice “Tenant meetings are mandatory and we must attend”. (Ha! That didn’t work)  As I reviewed the report I noticed no tenant names are written anywhere ie: who said what and to whom. To the reader this report would seem vague and uninteresting and would cast doubt on its authenticity.

It’s been over 3 months since we had the last tenant meeting and only today did we get a hand delivered copy of the report.  At this point does anybody care what was said!  *Hell no*  ie: I saw a fellow tenant immediately put the form on top of the fridge and forget about it.
TK tenant policy: Since the Acting HSC won’t attend future meetings then I recommend the rest of the tenants do the same. Can you imagine staff members Charles and Linda would be sitting in the community room twiddling their thumbs in a empty room then Charles would start calling tenants and dragging them down to the meeting as they are kicking and screaming in protest. :D
Speaking of staff members After Ingrid Nosel walked out of the last meeting we continued on and I remember one thing former HOW Lorraine Brown said about the HOW's and it helped me understand their job position and limitations.

On other news!

Sadly I have to say goodbye to fellow tenant Bonnie Hill after experiencing so much shit going on at KMHC she’s decided to get the fuck out of here.  The good thing is we’ll keep in touch via Facebook and I wish her all the luck in to world.

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
