Former Strathmore resident appears on Canada’s worst handyman

After watching her husband take matters into his own hands when it came to repairs around their shop and home, Prabhjot Sarao decided to nominate her husband Ajay Pal Singh for Canada’s Worst Handyman. 

“My wife wants, me not to get hurt by my handyman work which I do at home and shop,” said Singh. 

Singh and four others were picked to take part in Season 6, where they spent their time renovating a motel in Niagara Falls, Ont. The idea was to renovate and remodel a room to make it into a themed, romantic honeymoon retreat.    

“Yes, it is (exciting), it was fun. I met new people and had a good experience with TV. It’s easy to watch but it takes lots of efforts to make (it on) TV,” said Singh. 

“I’ve learned a lot in this show. So I can say that I am a good handyman now, but if I need some professional (help) I’ll hire,” said Singh. 

Singh said the hardest things for him to work on were the heart-shaped tub. The things he had the most fun installing was the mirrored ceiling and the breakfast table. 

Singh did own Country Donair in Strathmore but has relocated to Drumheller after opening a restaurant there. The season finale for Season 6 took place on June 13, and there are photo’s on the Canada’s Worst Handyman Facebook page. While Singh was favoured to be the one voted Canada’s Worst Handyman, the title went to Charlene Hunt from Pickering, Ont.
