He probably stayed at a hostel and ate out of garbage cans, as befits a representative of one of the richest countries on the planet.

Not that I think it should have cost $45000 for Redford to go, but then I question the point of going at all. Last I checked Alberta wasn't a sovereign country whose representatives should be expected to attend the funeral of a former head of state of some other country, regardless of the stature of said statesman.
