"Just A Friendly Reminder".....

.....…These were the last words I heard from H.O.W. Lynda Jones. I don’t consider this a big issue but it is annoying. This morning I received a phone call from Lynda Jones reminding me to escort my guests to the entrance/exit door during the day. I find this to be peculiar since I rarely have guests during the day, when I do I ALWAYS walk them to the exit and I told her that. Hey Lynda here's my "friendly reminder" I suggest the KMHC office staff get the facts straight and next time provide prove ie: from the security cameras capture a photo with time and date of the unescorted person leaving my unit during the day. I know how the KMHC office operates when the HSC Ingrid wants to be a bitch she gets the junior staff to do her dirty work. Trust me I got all the scoops from former staff.

Yesterday I read a notice on the bulletin board, the annual tenant BBQ will be held at head office. Have you seen the head office building! It's next to a unpaved laneway with a small parking lot. Picture this: we have tenants from Kenatah, KMHC and other homes scattered throughout the city all congregating in this little area of space waiting for a few burgers and a bottle of water, when it's all over the tenants will be standing around saying "Ok now what!" :D
The neighbours who live in the residential area will be thinking “What are those Indians up to now!” :D Anyway I won’t be attending I can’t face the embarrassment like last year.

This just in: here is a funny joke posting by a FB friend in the UK...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their
Tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.

Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, 'Kemo Sabe, look
Towards sky, what you see?

'The Lone Ranger replies, 'I see millions of stars.'

What that tell you?' asked Tonto.

The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, 'Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter Past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?'

"You dumber than buffalo shit. It means someone stole the tent."

:D

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
