Regina and Hamilton - the CFL is the only professional show in town and Winnipeg and Ottawa have significantly newer arenas already - done before major renos to their 10-20 use per year stadiums.
Regina and Hamilton are also replacing stadiums that were completely dilapidated, those facilities were in need of replacement 20+ years ago. That may be the case for Winnipeg and Ottawa as well, I'm not all that familiar with the state of their facilities.
