It comes from the reporter misreading an earlier CBC article that stated the entire pool of Canada Infrastructure Program funding. I tweeted her and emailed CBC this afternoon, but it hasn't been corrected yet. The actual cost of the facility is a bit of a mystery. The region budgeted $65m back in 2016, and the request for bids document says the entire cost should be under $90m, but CBC was reporting a cost as high as $120m in March.
