This is at least twice that this property has been up for sale.  Last time I believe it was cancelled.  Others may have more information.

As far as the number of staff required to attend the opening, I am sure that they were already paid for their time, they just had to be there instead of pushing paper somwhere else.  As I said in another post, you can get a free copy of Form 7 here:

Although the assessed value is $566 000, the houses in that area are probably worth $750 000 so unless one plans to live in the house once it can be occupied and do the work, there's very little wiggle room.

Attended the Oakville auction today, there were about 50 people there with 36 bids.  Two were rejected - one for enclosing a cheque on a credit union, not a bank and the other whose deposit was insufficient (need an arithmetic lesson?).  Of the 34 acceptable bids, six were between 100 and 200, sixteen between 200 and 300, eight between 300 and 400 and four over 400.  (All figures in 100s of thousands).  The winning bid was, tadaa, $470 000!

Looks ok structurally, it was just left as it was about 15 years ago.  Apparently the town has replaced the roof (according to a neighbour).  I will post the results.

Talked to a neighbour, it seems that a father built/bought the house for his son who was having some health? issues.  Apparently they just walked away and left all the furniture, etc. inside.  It appears to be ok structurally.  I am going to attend, just to see what happens.

You should have to pay up to $60 for this.
