In Ken's view, Stakeholders that include CHF Canada support less accountability for co-op's and board of directors and staff at it's member housing co-op's.

Ken is not welcome to join-in on any discussion about co-op housing issues on any social media sites administered through CHF Canada
Its part of Ken's DNA and built into Ken's name to be outspoken!...And thats what makes Ken a stand-up guy confronting nonsense in the co-op housing sector.

Was Linda and the Board of Directors Bad...again in...2018 and 2019...?

Full Moon co-op housing Incantation ~ Sometimes its easier to say Abracadabra and CLICK HERE


 

As at February 20, 2018,was Linda Thornton, President, Chevonne Hill, Vice-President, Amber Pilgrim, Corporate Secretary, Brenda Sorenson, Director, Margaret Patterson, Director, and 2 other Board of Directors bad again in...2018 and 2019...? In Ken Newman Goodmoon Hummel's view, the answer is a resounding YES!

Ms. Thornton was President, Chevonne Hill, Vice-President, Amber Pilgrim, Corporate Secretary, Brenda Sorensen, Director, Margaret Patterson, Director, and 2 other Directors at Athol Green co-op in 2018 was on the Board when the Board of Directors hired Barry Hales as the new manager and secretary to the Board from May 16, 2018 to November 28, 2019.

 

As at February 8, 2019 Chevonne Hill, President, Linda Thornton, Vice-President, Amber Pilgrim, Corporate Secretary, Brenda Sorensen, Director, Margaret Patterson, Director, and 2 other Directors were on the Board of Directors when Barry Hales departed Athol Green Co-operative Homes Inc.

 

Co-op General Membership Meeting Minutes dated January 16, 2020 on page 1 and 2 detail some governance and management issues with Barry Hales, and Board of Directors at the Co-op.

Follow the timeline, Barry Hales was hired at Athol Green co-op about 2 1/2 months after, when on March 1 and 2, 2018 heard in Small Claims Court in Toronto, ON. (Hales v the "Co-Op") re: Hales claim for wrongful dismissal. In the May 28, 2018 Judgement [66] "I find that the Co-op was justified in terminating Mr. Hales employment." CLICK Judgment HERE

The Judgement date was less than two weeks after Hales was hired by the Board of Directors at Athol Green co-op. Plenty has been said from the time Barry Hales was hired, and after his departure from the co-op, and some of that information has already been shared!

Ken Newman Goodmoon Hummel had done plenty of finger-pointing prior to May 16, 2018, and lots of finger-wagging after May 16, 2018. Some people may had asked themselves or wondered what type of hiring process may had been used in reaching decision to hire Mr. Barry Hales back in 2018, and Ms. Anna Curto back in 2020.


Ken Newman Goodmoon Hummel's Facebook timeline in 2025, and 2024...raise issues about Athol Green co-op governance, and management in relation to Co-op elections for board of directors, hiring some outside contractors, CHFT, and misconduct of supplied  Meeting Facilitator/Chairperson at Co-op AGM's and GMM's, and growing lack of information and transparency during the Anna Curto, Office Coordinator Era and her so-called Board of Directors Linked on Facebook...

Ken Hummel is Calling the Question, did CHFT and/or CHF Canada have any influence in the hiring decision process and/or make recommendation to the Board at Athol Green Co-operative Homes Inc. to hire Mr. Barry Hales in 2018, and Ms. Anna Curto on September 1, 2020? - In Ken's view, the answer to this question is perhaps highly probable.


Example: CHF Canada's Community Housing Management Network (CHMN) founded in May 2009, provides management services for over 40 housing co-ops, and non-profit housing providers in Ontario, and Nova Scotia. CLICK link to CHMAN and located on the X (formally twitter) Social Media Platform CHMN linked.

How would you define magumba in the Canadian co-op housing sector?        

Example One: All is good, don't worry be happy?                   

Example Two: Figuratively speaking, is your housing co-op getting a slow and agonizing magumba over years of poor or bad governance and/or management?                                                                

Example Three: Figuratively speaking, is your housing co-op getting a rough ride or rawed since being re-financed?

Who are the co-op housing stakeholders' figuratively speaking, giving your housing co-op magumba and/or taking it for a rough ride...? You may find the answer by CLICKING HERE
