Ken Zaifman: Zaifman

Ken Zaifman Dept: However, owner Ken Zaifman still has 60 days to avoid losing the building if he complies with outstanding demands to bring it up to code, according to CBC. Zaifman, an immigration lawyer, has long said he wants to turn the four-storey building into a boutique hotel, but it remains vacant to this day and the property title to the 100-year-old St. Charles Hotel in Winnipeg's Exchange District is being taken over by the city. The decision was made Wednesday morning by the city's downtown development and heritage committee, which denied Zaifman's appeal to keep the historic hotel. Ken Zaifman says he will fight to retain ownership of the hotel. Meaghan Ketcheson/ (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
