Stealth & Cunning Indian Style.

Beware! The Borrower. :)

Here's a Native superhero comic character and the message has meaning. There are a few natives @ KMHC who like to borrow stuff and if you’re lucky you may get paid on cheque day. ;)

A funny story - During the summer whenever I saw the tenants sitting on the park benches deep in conversation I’d try to sneak up and scare one. I’d get a laugh watching their reaction and they knew I meant no harm. It’s was great at first nobody was immune I was like a cat approaching its prey I moved with stealth and cunning until the tenants got wise. Using their Indian skills they would stake out the area for sneaky Tony and one night my shenanigans backfired. I was about to pounce on one unsuspected tenant when suddenly I was attacked from behind. I didn’t see tenant Linda creep up from behind and poke me. Scared the shite out me!……yep paybacks are a bitch. The group of tenant elders broke out in laughter knowing I got snagged. Hee hee! :D

More good news to share: After all these years I finally received in the mail my Canadian Native status card from Ottawa our Nation’s Capital. I was so excited it’s been a long journey for our family it's a good feeling knowing we belong to a native band in the province of Ontario. Honorable Grandfather Mathew would be proud of our accomplishment. :)

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 End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist. Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room. Who will be rehired and who will be fired! I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway. She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie. Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me. I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc. It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

Lock That Door!

FOB A few years ago UNH’s installed electronic door locks on all levels of the KMHC building. There was grumbling from tenants about the inconvenience but soon learn to adapt. Before entry the tenant must have a FOB device to unlock and open the front door. *Similar to the image above* Yeah it’s a pain in the arse when a tenant is carrying groceries and other items. The one thing I like about the FOB lock system is when the building fire alarm is triggered all FOB locked doors electronically swing open. Soon after the FOB lock systems were installed I notice something peculiar. During office hours the basement door was jarred open by the UNH’s staff and I figured out why. UNH staff was too lazy to get up off their seat and physically open the door for their visitors. There is a security camera monitor at the reception desk and a buzzer that opens the main door but Jeezus Come on ladies! Tenant elders are inst...
