Looking For A New Superintendent

There's a tenant notice on the bulletin board It's official, KMHC superintendent Francois Trembley and his wife has got the boot. Fired! Canned! Quit! Out The Door! call it what you will they're gone. Boy! Talk about short term employment.  Oh well I had a feeling he wouldn't last long you gotta remember Ingrid is HSC.  I've seen and heard many former staff members be thrown under the bus by her.
Attention! Job Opening @ KMHC  *Apply at your own risk*  $26,000 a year plus a small bachelor converted to a one bedroom. Job requirements: must have stamina, strength and able to bow your head when the senior staff pass by.  I wonder if Jan Porter would be willing to come back!  Naaa what am I thinking. :P
 On other news: I received a call from the KMHC office asking if I'm interested in participating in their survey.  Looks like somebody in the organization read my previous blog post. :P  Anyway I immediately called her back and agreed but now after talking to a few tenants I've come to the conclusion the survey is time consuming and pointless. I've sent an email to the UNH's  Director to cancel the survey meeting.  If UNH's really wants to know my opinions, concerns and complaints all they have to do is park their ass in front of their computer and read my blogs. It's all here Baby!

A few tenants in the building have been serious ill I do hope they have a speedy recovery.

Until next time

On Friday the front entrance was blocked due to construction. I saw the former superintendent & his wife standing outside wondering how to get in the building so I signaled to them I would open the side door. Said to Francois "Sorry to hear things didn't work out" He replied "shit happens" LOL I like his attitude.

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
