Community Room Is Closed


The image you see above is a photocopy.  There is no signature from the housing outreach workers or the housing service coordinator Ingrid because they don't want to be held accountable.  But observe the UNH's logo on the top left corner this will confirm its authenticity.
Remember in January I received a letter stating I'm banned from HOW programs and my reaction was similar to "I don't give a shit!"  Well folks judging by the note that is posted on the bulletin boards this afternoon the KMHC office staff are up to their old tricks by closing down the recreational room for reasons unknown and the KMHC tenants are left in the dark.  This means no computer access for tenants who use it, no watching the big screen TV, no arts & crafts or sewing circle and no area for tenants to socialize in the KMHC building.  I really don't understand UNH's logic, seems like it's a tactic for tenants to feel unwelcome and move out.  I feel sorry for the Native elders who use the community room on a regular basis, during the extreme cold weather conditions there is not much the elders can do but sit in their unit.  I consider HOW Lynda Jones a useless Hobbit for not standing up for the tenants, surly she can see this is not a good idea or perhaps she's too afraid of being thrown under the bus by HSC Ingrid if she speaks out. 
It's time for the KMHC tenants to stop complaining among themselves when something is wrong and really make a difference by implementing a form of action.  UNH's discontinued the tenant meeting because they don't want to hear our voices.  I say: send a letter of protest to the UNH's Director if she won't listen there is always the news media.  United We Stand Strong!

Positive news - Thanks to little Debbie for the delicious banana nut cakes, it was a nice surprise.  :)

Here's a scoop: for weeks the UNH's website is down and offline. I wonder who or what they are hiding from.  :P

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...
