There are financial reasons for that on top of the time of year not being ideal for volunteers at the end of the etc. It really does seem like a pretty big expenditure for an event that won't be on television anymore and really only lasts a few hours, especially for outlying communities much smaller than Calgary.

I haven't attended any of these legs before so I'm making some assumptions, but I'm guessing the City feels the cost is way too high for the smaller niche crowds an event like this would draw.
