Bill’s Story

William (Bill) Shurniak S.O.M, M.S.M., LL.D (Hon) 1931-2020

Founder of the Shurniak Art Gallery

Bill was born at the family farm in Limerick, Saskatchewan where he grew up and attended school in the village.  Upon graduating from high school, he joined the Imperial Bank of Canada in Assiniboia as a junior clerk.  His banking career spanned a period of 35 years which included postings throughout Western Canada, the far North, Southern Ontario and the International Regions of Jamaica and Hong Kong. 

In 1984, he left the bank to return to Hong Kong to become an Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Hutchison Whampoa Limited and remained a part of the Li Ka-shing group of companies, still serving as a director of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited in Hong Kong, and a director and Deputy Chairman of Husky Energy Inc upon his death. Bill spend 5 years working in Australia, then moved back to Limerick, Saskatchewan in 2005.
