Swiss Chalet Luncheon @ KMHC

This afternoon the ladies of the tenant committee hosted a luncheon for all the tenants and it was a smashing success. A special thank you to little Debbie for the homemade cake. I mean she went all out slaving over a hot oven. :)   Everybody was there we laughed, we joked around, we poked fun and I said my goodbyes to Marie who is moving out this weekend and I had a great time chatted with my fellow tenants.
What I like about the luncheon there was no staff around. This proves we tenants are adults, not children and can behave in a respectful manner to others and we don’t need supervision. 

Now for my Scoop of the week: This morning I noticed a serviceman installing a hidden security camera in the community room. Perhaps this is the HSC’s idea of keeping an eye on us and her staff.  As for me I couldn’t care less I just won’t be hanging out in the community room that often.  In this day & age cameras are all over the fucking place. We are turning into a paranoid society.

Wednesday Feb.20, 2013 – The fire inspector was in the building checking the whole fire alarm system, when he came to my unit to check the smoke detector I asked him. “Is once a year sufficient to check the smoke detector”. His answer was “Yes, according to Hamilton fire regulations once a year is enough.”  I then looked at the Super which in turn she looked away. She knew where I was going with my question to the fire inspector.
UNH’s - checking the smoke detector in units every few months is unnecessary and bothersome.  Trust me!  If there is anything wrong with my smoke detector UNH's will be the first to read my complaint.  :P

I heard today a fellow tenant complained to the office about the Spencer situation. Way to go bro!  :)

Have a good weekend Bloggers.

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
