She's Baaack!

Today at 12.30 pm I attended the Nutritional luncheon held at the community room hosted by the Hamilton Aboriginal Health Centre.  It was fun hanging out with my fellow tenants Delores, Marie, Deano, Debbie, Janis, Linda and others.  I ate a light snack and played one game of bingo then I left early because I had to meet a friend from outside the building.  When I got back home I decided to see if there was any coffee left over from the luncheon.  I grabbed my coffee cup and when I walked in the community room Lo & behold! Guess who came out of hiding and sitting at the table stuffing her face…Yep you guessed right…. it was Ingrid Nosel.  I completely ignored her and walked straight to the coffee machine and helped myself.  As I was leaving I noticed she was staring at me giving dirty looks.  And you know what!  She can make all the ugly faces she wants because it’s not going to provoke a reaction from me. She tried that before at the last Christmas gathering yet she ran to the cops whining she's afraid of me.  Childish behavior is so unattractive especially from a woman her age.
On other news I had a chat with a fellow tenant and it looks like there may not be a Tenant/Swiss Chalet luncheon as planned by the tenant committee.  There is opposition from the HSC. Since I’m not a tenant committee member I’m not getting involved but I know some tenants are disappointed that it may be cancelled.  
After the luncheon I read the UNH's newsletter, I'd describe the newsletter as something you read while on the "throne", it has the usual self praising "We do a good job and Natives can't wait to move in so we can evict them later" :P   Meanwhile they have to remind applicants to call the office for updates. :D 
To complete their 40 hour Community service student credit UNH's wants Hamilton students to sign up with them...talk about slave labour. :)
It's a shame Valerie Williams has taken a leave of absence..I got good vibes from her. 

Ho Hum!

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...

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...
