Christine Has Left The Building.



Christine Demik came to KMHC less than two years ago she was Charles Jacobs replacement.  At first I thought she was a nice young lady, friendly and seems helpful.  Then the UNH’s curse took possession and soon her personality changed she became unfriendly, stoic and complacent.  Christine and Lynda are two UNH’s outreach workers who I assume were equal.  They had their duties then last year I noticed what was really going on, Lynda Jones is on a power trip and determined to take over KMHC.  Lynda actually said to me at our last meeting “From now on you will only talk to me, not Christine!”  I thought “up yours woman! I don’t take orders from someone I despise”.  From that point on I haven’t spoken to Lynda Jones or Christine.  
Good Luck to Christine Demik I've never had anything against the young lady and she made a wise decision to take a job offer on the mountain.  IMO she would be wasting her time being employed at UNH's/KMHC.  I can’t see any advancement being confined in an office/warehouse basement.  Poor Lynda from now on she’ll have to take the Cannon or King Street bus route to get home, no more free rides from Christine.  :P
On other news!  KMHC tenant Elders were disappointed UNH’s didn’t offer a ride to Duane’s funeral instead the office staff closed up shop and went themselves.  In the past KMHC tenants were always offered a ride to a fallen tenant’s funeral.   :(
According to Mr. Google the UNH’s head office building is up for sale and plans to move to the men’s residence on Kenilworth Ave.  How ironic!  The renovated Kenilworth building has been a financial money pit from the start.
Thanksgiving weekend celebrations was a blast, I went to a dinner function hosted by the Hamilton Regional Indian Centre aka HRIC at the Ukrainian banquet hall located at east Hamilton. A small group of us tenants sat and enjoyed the feast.  The next day another dinner at a friend’s place.  I swear to God!  No turkey dinners until Christmas.  I’ll have to do double workouts at the gym.
Speaking of Christmas remember the blog I wrote last year about select tenants not receiving any gifts from their wish list!  It took the UNH's/KMHC staff 10 months to come up with a written excuse on why certain native elders were excluded.  This year I’m not even going to waste my time submitting a wish gift item.  Why be disappointed twice.

Have a good day.

It should be noted Miss Demik is now banned from entering KMHC. A UNH's asinine rule when a employee leaves the Mickey Mouse organization. :)

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...
