KMHC & The Weather

Not only is the HSC’s attitude cold now the KMHC staff can’t or won’t make it to work because of the cold weather.  Jeezus! We’re Canadians we’re use to the cold, get over it!  So where does this leave KMHC tenants.  Well so far this morning I’ve seen tenant Janis struggle to get into a cab so she can make it to the hospital for dialysis treatment. Tenants waiting for the community room to open so they can use the computer and check the weather report. Tenants standing around the office entrance waiting to talk to staff. And the worst is the recycling bins have over flown and started to stink up the hallway. This place has gone down the toilet and we can thank HSC Ingrid Nosel for the decline.  Now if we had a superintendent in the building he could update the tenants on what services will be available for the day…but Noooo!  They had to fire the last one and leave the Native Elders who rely on KMHC to their own devices. :P
I wasn’t going to mention this in my blog but I’ve changed my mind. On Christmas Eve morning the staff delivered gifts to all tenants from anonymous gift givers from the Hamilton/Burlington area. Most tenants didn’t know about the delivery because the staff failed to inform them prior. I ran into fellow tenant Keith at the mall and told him to rush to the building to get his gifts, it was going on noon and the office will be closing for the holidays. I walked ahead of Keith and saw KMHC staff Lynda Jones & Debra LaForme warming up the car and ready to drive off. I asked the ladies would they wait a few minutes so Keith can get his Christmas gifts he’s coming up the street.  They smiled and said sure, I turned my back, walked to the building and they drove off.  Those bitches couldn’t wait 2 mins. I felt bad for Keith he knocked on the office door in vain hoping to get his gifts.  He’d have to wait until the following Monday.  During the holidays there are times when one must be patient and consider the other person I didn’t see that in Lynda and Debra all they wanted to do is get the fuck out of here.  I’m totally disappointed in them.  :-(

On behave of the KMHC tenants I would like to thank the anonymous Christmas gift givers of Hamilton/Burlington area. I got a kick out of the handmade Christmas cards from the children...they were very sweet.  :)


So there you have it folks…2014 begins

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...

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

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...
