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.

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
