I'm Moving On



Old Marquee
This blogsite has been private to select readers for many moons and is now open to the public.  For a few years I’ve been thinking of moving out of KMHC yet I didn’t put much effort into it, I needed a kick start and that’s what OAHS did.  Earlier this year there was a dispute pending between I and OAHS legal department, the issue was not about nonpayment of rent or damage of rental property nor causing a noise disturbance in the building.  Their issue was the content written in this blog site.  The nefarious tenant Aunt Opie complained her human rights were violated claiming mental distress and was falling apart.  In reality she should lay off the booze & prescription drugs, be responsible and stop blaming others for her own mistakes. 
From my observation OAHS legal representative Dale Skvereckas used tenant Aunt Opie as a pawn.  On my next blog I’ll share my insight and the resolution at the Landlord & Tenant mediation meeting.  Also due to Dale Skvereckas's sleazy tactics I'll be posting advice/do's and don't for other tenants who have a dispute with their landlord/housing provider. 

Anyway I’m moving out of KMHC at the end of the month.  During my nine year tenancy at KMHC I’ve met and lost many wonderful neighbors.  When tenant and friend Judy Ashkewe passed away that was the turning point, I couldn't see myself as a geriatric tenant living at KMHC.  I felt ready for another adventure/journey, I learned all there is to know about Canadian aboriginal culture.  For the first time in KMHC history last week in the community room a Native smudge ceremony tripped the main building fire alarm, tenants had to evacuate, electronically the fire dept. were called and Global TV news showed up.  False Alarm.  Jeez!  How embarrassing.

UNH outreach worker Lynda Jones has been dismissed from her job and I couldn’t be more elated.  She would describe in a derogatory manner the KMHC tenants as “Needy".  I will admit there are some that look for handouts and freebees but that is not myself, I’ve never asked Lynda Jones for anything.
In preparation of moving I donated a full shopping cart of non perishable food items to the KMHC tenants, which were graciously accepted. :)  When word got out I’m leaving a majority of KMHC tenants were supportive by expressing their concern and sadness, I will be missed and was wished a fond farewell.  I will miss most of them too yet I’m looking forward to meet other people at my new place. :)

Aunt Opie's world. :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...
