It’s February

A few things happened at KMHC since my last blog.  In regard to the UNH transportation van after a long absence I signed up as a passenger to a recent event held at Native Women Centre.  Driver Rachel George was courteous and there was no inappropriate conversation during the 15 min. trip.  There’s been a lot of talk about the UNH transportation van and what it’s been used for & yet I can’t comment on any monkey business.  The Native Women Centre presentation was informative, interesting and I had the chance to meet new people at the program.  At the end there was a raffle draw and I won a sleeping bag. :) 
As part of the transitional process new instructions were posted at the KMHC entrance.  Urban Native Homes Inc. will not accept housing applications.  Application for housing can be obtained by going to the Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services website their office is based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
HOW Lynda Jones has missed a lot of days of work at KMHC and I hope they don’t renew her job position come March 31/18.
Last week UNH posted a survey invitation for all tenants.  I thought this is nice yet when I showed up at the community room the interviewer Diane Forbes said she’s doing a one on one survey from each tenant.  Diane took down my name and phone number and never got back to me to complete the survey.  This is why we need better management, a team that knows what in the hell they are doing.  What a waste of time. :(

Aunt Opie
Tenant Aunt Opie continues to spread nasty stories and gossip about other tenants in the building and I have a suggestion on how tenants can deal with her.  When approached by Aunt Opie either by phone/text or in person say these words “I Don’t Want To Hear It!”  Hopefully this will shut her up and she’ll go away.

I hear former HSC Ingrid Nosel has left the province and moved to western Canada. This is great news! As some may know she and I didn't like each other and it effected her job performance. I recently received confirmation Lynda Jones was also Ingrid's ass kisser.

This morning I spoke to staff member Melissa Wissner who's working at KMHC reception. I asked is Housing Administrator Crystal Mackenzie gone and she confirmed it. From What Melissa said whoever is left have until April 3/18 then it's off to the E.I. office to file for unemployment benefits.

Since the end of Urban Native Homes Inc. is near, this blog site will be open to the public at the end of the week.

Wigwamin Terrace

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...
