I'm looking at purchasing an older model Snowtrekker, just wondering if the water repellency or fire treatment that they put on the canvas ever wears off?

Unless the tent has been washed many times I think the fire treatment should still be in tact.
As for the water repellency, that's in the way the fabric is constructed. The weave is very tight, tight enough that when it does get wet, the fibers swell tight. Water repellency is also a feature how the tent is designed. Having said all that, I don't foresee an old tent to be any different in its water repellency compared to a new one.
