Close Encounter With N-5

Yes I know what you’re thinking. What is the author referring to. Well Folks!  Yesterday as I was about to leave the building guess who was standing outside at the entrance way?  It was Ingrid Nosel fumbling with her keys, she looked miserable as always and totally 'out of it'.  I waited a second then I decided to open the door to leave, I didn't say a word then walked by her to check my mail. Since she likes issuing N-5 notices to tenants I’m giving her a new Indian name “N-5”. So if you see her waddling down the street due to her thighs rubbing together just point and say “There goes N-5”. :D
A new tenant came up with a great idea, a food box to share with other tenants any items that are not used are put in the box so other tenants can help themselves.  It’s like a tenant food share program. I’ve donated many items and I hope this catches on.
I can already see since Jan Porter quit her job things are not done efficiently around here. The front entrance windows were not cleaned properly and the recycling drums were left on the street for over a day.
On another note: Shame on the Director of UNH’s for trying to 'muzzle' a former employee. :P

Have a good weekend everybody.

Update- The food share box has been going on for almost a year and it seems to be going well. I would donate a few canned items that I don't use and a anonymous tenant would help themselves. A few other tenants would donate to the box as well. Now here's what went on at the last tenant meeting. The little imp Lynda Jones wanted to moving the box into the community room but tenant Judy said no because the community room is not open 24/7. RE: KMHC office - instead of complimenting the tenants on a good idea they'd rather stick their noses and fuck around with it because they didn't come up with the idea first.

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...

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...

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...
