For the past 11 years, Randy Kaniuk has dedicated his life to restoring the Historic Shaunavon Hotel in Shaunavon, Sask.
He's hauled 42 dumpsters of lathe and plaster from the century-old building, replaced 23,000 kilograms of rotted pipe, dug nine metres of coal soot from the basement and has foregone a paycheck as he poured his earnings into restoring the building.
But earlier this month, he received a notice from the Town of Shaunavon that they were taking over the building's title in lieu of about $50,000 in back property taxes. Kaniuk has 30 days to vacate the property and remove all of his personal possessions, according to the notice.
