Hamilton Regional Police Services

Since I had two visits from the police over KMHC and Ingrid & John Nosel’s strange behavior I decided to post a blog about the boys in blue. Over the years I’ve learned to appreciate and respect what these men and women do to protect the community, it’s not an easy job.

I worked for many years at the Festival Banquet Hall as the security doorman, Albert my boss has friends on the police force and every now and then the officers would drop by on a Saturday night to say hello to us and have a quick bite to eat then back on patrol. The Festival hosted many police wedding receptions and other police events and it was a blast. They really know how to celebrate a wedding with a great sense of "police humor", on duty officers would drop by for a minute to congratulate the happy couple then jump back in their cruisers. During the evening they took pictures of the bride in her beautiful wedding gown and the groom pretending to be pushing a police car. Ha! I had a good laugh over that.

It’s true the police have their own inner circle and I'm fortunate that I got the chance to watch and interact with them while I was at work. When I needed advice on security procedures the boys in blue were informative and willing to help.

When the police officers came to my door on different occasions and ask questions I didn’t feel intimated or fearful, I know the difference between morally right and wrong and what is unlawful, as long as I have the truth on my side then I have nothing to worry about.

*Raises a glass of diet coke* Cheers to Hamilton Police Services.

Btw did I mention we're practically neighbours with the C.S. ;)

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
