Hamilton Indigenous Housing

In response to my previous blog, today the person who taped the article on my door came forward, we had a serious conversation and explained to me their good intentions and all is well. At the time I did send an e-mail to the UNH’s Director requesting to look into the matter and to make sure it doesn’t happen again.   She e-mailed me back and gave a vague response "according to the security footage no employee came to my door at the time".  For obvious reasons I didn’t believe her and replied back I’d only be convinced if I looked at the security footage myself. Anyway I’m glad the person came forward to clear the air, I feel better and in the end we shook hands in solidarity.  :) On other news: Cam and his Bluegrass Band entertained the tenants this afternoon and I had a good time. Hostess Sandra gave me a little history on how the band came to be available and play at KMHC and I thank her.   Just a reminder June is Aboriginal month…Don’t forget to hug a...

Blogger bites into the control, danger & temptation of sweet stuff  This morning I decided to visit a fellow tenant on another floor, whenever I leave my unit I manually close my door because when the door clicks shut by itself it makes a lot of noise. I was gone about 5-10 minutes when I arrived back to my unit I noticed a picture of jelly beans scotch taped to my door. The image you see above is the exact replica. This is not a big deal certainly not worth calling the cops but I am curious, why would someone go through all the trouble and go overboard on the office scotch tape posting a picture from a newspaper!  I could tell it was a rush job. I know my fellow tenants wouldn't pull such a prank. T he KMHC office is closed for Victoria Day but there was staff in the building. After doing an investigation I have one UNH’s employee as a suspect. Reading the caption on the picture I noticed it has the name blogger and sweet stuff.   Message to the perpetrator ne...

A few days ago the tenants received a note that KMHC Outreach Worker Charles Jacobs has left the building.  After reading the letter I would suspect he left unexpectedly and now UNH’s is looking for a replacement.   It’s not fair on HOW Lynda Jones who now has to work twice as hard but Hey! That’s how UHN’s operates. Charles & I got along well he earned my respect some time ago when I was upset over Gerimaine’s death. He offered his support. I would describe Charles as a quiet family man who did his job, during smoke breaks he would sit outside text messaging whoever and kept to himself.   During the drama I had with HSC Ingrid Nosel at Christmas time I could tell he was put in a awkward position due to Ingrid’s childish tantrum. “Sorry Tony, Ingrid said you don’t get a gift card” In turn I replied to Charles “That’s Ok!   It’s not your fault” and I patted him on shoulder.   In reality I was thinking Ingrid can shove the gift card up her fat ass I really ...
