RIP Miss Norma

This morning my intercom rang and I answered it I heard the police talking in the background but nobody responded when I said hello!  So I hung up. I thought that’s strange I then looked out the window and noticed a police cruiser and ambulance in front of the building. It wasn’t until later in the day I received confirmation tenant Miss Norma has passed away.  Just yesterday she opened the front door for me after I went shopping and she looked ok. Goes to show when our time comes there is no warning.
I have fond memories of Miss Norma she was a fellow tenant but only an acquaintance we never hung out together.  Once in a while we would chit chat if we met in front of the building. When I first moved to KMHC she made me feel welcome and warned me to avoid the bitches (gossipers and backstabbers). I use to see her often sitting outside the front entrance then after she had her last surgery I’d rarely see her.
Miss Norma & I had conversations about this place she was content living here, no complaints.
At this time the KMHC office hasn’t made any announcement of Miss Norma’s passing posted on the bulletin boards. If there’s a gathering in remembrance of Miss Norma in the community room I will be sure to attend.  Tonight there will be no Christmas light display from my windows due to the passing of a wonderful woman.
I’m not a religious person but for those who are, say a prayer for Miss Norma that she's in another place free of pain and suffering.

I see and talk to Norma's daughter Cathy often, a few weeks ago she mentioned the family will be visiting Norma's resting place. I remember a few years ago Norma gave me her nice Christmas decorations which I still have today. RIP Miss Norma.

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 Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

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
