Bizarre Moments @ KMHC

The other day while watching HSC Ingrid’s attempt to get herself out of a snow bank and looking quite ridiculous at it. I thought, I’ll bet she’ll have problems on the road and sure enough she did.  Getting stuck in the snow twice then finally gave up, abandoned her vehicle and walked home. Don’t worry she had a heavy set companion with her so she wasn’t alone.
Continuing on from the last tenant meeting, when a fellow tenant asked HSC Ingrid about the security camera in the community room here’s what happened next:  Ingrid turns around from her chair, looks around the room and said “Where’s the camera, I don’t see one!”  I thought what a buffoon.  The woman couldn’t act her way out of a wet paper bag. She was in the room when the camera was installed months ago. :D
HSC Ingrid Nosel violated the agreement we made last year, advised by PC Terry Oliver we are not to speak to each other directly.  Standing near my fellow tenant and trying to listen to her speech, Ingrid gave me a crazed look and yelled for me to “Sit Down!”  I looked at her, said no and ignored her.  Because my fellow tenant has an important issue to share Ingrid wanted to distract others from listening. This only could be accomplished if she caused a scene with me.  The tenant meeting is described as ‘childish’ ‘boring’, "stupid and a waste of time". These words are from a few tenants who were there. :P
Yesterday was a good day, I woke up, opened the window blinds and saw the KMHC junior staff struggling to clear the snow from the driveway. I immediately got dressed and went outside to help. My good deed was appreciated and I thanked the ladies for not blocking my window with their vehicles. I posted this on Facebook and received many “likes” and pvt. messages from people locally and all over the world filled with compliments. :)
Later in the day I was leaving the building and I noticed the boiler mechanic struggling to get his equipment up the entrance stairs and no member of the KMHC maintenance staff were around to assist. I helped the guy move the heavy equipment up the stairs, as we reached the top then I realized Faack! We have an elevator he could have used that.  According to my sources there will be no Superintendant in the KMHC building . UNH’s in their infinite wisdom will rent out the Superintendent apt and rely on the maintenance staff to upkeep the building. 

Until next time......stay warm.

I did some research on the internet and reviewed my stats. I'm proud of my accomplishment, the Native Housing blog site received more "likes" and more pageviews then the UNH's webpage. We're fast approaching 45,000 pageviews. Thank you for reading my blog.

After many years I received a call for Toronto Native Housing offering a vacancy so I decided to explore my options by attending a viewing of what's available. But first I did a phone interview with acting project manager Paul Feitelberg. He said my personal and financial information checks out fine then we talked about the negative reference I got from Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services. I was asked for my side of the story and I also invited Paul to read this blog site to find out more who I am.  A few days later I called Paul for an update, I was complimented on my blog posts and he could see the love and compassion I have for the Native people on this blog site.  Due to the Hamilton cyber attack it was difficult for Paul get a reference from my current housing provider so with my assistance I helped him get in contact with their office. I received an excellent tenant reference from my housing provider. When I asked about OAHS he said he's going to ignore their negative re...

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...

Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou

I hope one day we can truly say there is a haven where older natives who experienced homelessness can find a place to call home and have the resources available for the best quality of life in their golden years. Koo Ga Da Win Manitou Housing Complex has a long journey in order to reach that goal. Perhaps more funding is needed or better trained/experienced outreach workers who can relate to tenants concerns and health issues. Programs that would interest all tenants as a whole would be nice. Most important we tenants must try to get along with their neighbours. (as the good book says "Love thy neighbour") I've been here less then a year and I've observed alot, we have a diversity of tenants living in the building from different reservations and walks of life. Some have problems with alcohol, prescription drug addictions, physical disabilities and slight mental disabilities. The one thing we all have in common is our health concerns, from chronic back pain to deadly...
