Yesterday morning there was a tenant meeting scheduled for
10 30 am. Walking in the room to my
surprise there was a presentation going on by the CFS. It was a sleezy tactic by the HSC to get the
tenants to the presentation by not telling us in advance. The tenants were
expecting a tenant meeting, not some woman going on & on about household
clutter. When the CFS presentation was
over KMHC staff began the tenant meeting.
The worse speech from the HSC Ingrid Nosel was about to begin.
She went on about tenants being respectful to others and the staff which I
agree with. Then I reminded her about her verbal outbursts and her bad attitude
towards tenants which also has to stop. Respect goes both ways Ingrid.
Tenant Judy who has a physical disability had a concern
about emergencies in the unit. Ingrid’s response was “We can’t help you, you
have to make your own arrangements” I immediately said to Judy “Don’t worry we tenants can be there for you if you need help.” Another topic Ingrid went on about was
“their mandate” but never explained what that entails.
Here’s the shocker folks! HSC Ingrid Nosel suggested current native elder tenants
look for other accommodation to make way for others who are on the waiting
list. When I heard this I had to speak up. I looked at her and said ”The only
one that can evict a tenant is the Sheriff, he has to have a court order so be prepared for a long process” she just stared at me. I found out later Ingrid’s statement made a few
tenants feel unwelcome living at KMHC. :(
Ingrid has made some ridiculous comments in the past. ie: It’s mandatory for tenants to attend all tenant meetings which I found out later to be
false. She’s filed false N5 documents. Therefore anything this woman says I consider as B.S.
In the middle of her speech she suddenly announced “she’s
never been in a residential school” I thought “ok what does that have to do
with tenant issues!” Hmm! Looks like
it’s time for Ingrid to take her medication. :P
Finally when she finished her speech she walked out of the meeting
claiming she had to be somewhere else but in reality she wanted to avoid questions by the tenants. If this is UNH's idea of a plan then Shame On Them.
Recycling box – These blue boxes have been sitting in the
hallway ever since The City of Hamilton ordered the recycling room closed and was unsafe. Recently the staff moved the boxes
near the front doorway area of mine and another tenant. On weekends the hallway
stinks and it’s an eyesore when these blue boxes are filled with recyclable waste.
I complained about this at the tenant meeting and hopefully the KMHC staff will
listen to my solution.
