Quick glance is that the Feds are not involved in Regina or Winnipeg, but the provincial governments are involved in both.

Regina's is a $400m P3 project, and I wasnt able to determine anything more than municipal and provincial governments were involved.

Winnipeg's is a cheaper $190m project between UofM, City of Winnipeg, the Blue Bombers and the Manitoba Government. Winnipeg Blue Bombers are paying back $85 million and the provincial and city levels of government are splitting the rest of the costs.

Hamilton's is definitely government funded, like you said, linked to Pan-Am/Commonwealth bids.
