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 End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist.   Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room.   Who will be rehired and who will be fired!   I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway.   She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie.  Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me.  I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc.  It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

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...
