$5M in funding from the city.
$5M from the province.
$11M from the federal government
$12M from donors.
So the city is contributing only about 15%. Plus possibly the land.
In any case, this is a long-established gallery with a large collection of native art. If we built a new gallery like this in Kitchener, I suspect it would have a lot of empty space.
