The ongoing renovation and repair work at Province House will take longer than expected. The building was supposed to reopen some time this year after eight years of renovations and repairs, but Parks Canada now says that won’t happen. The conservation project, which started in 2015, has cost the federal government 91.8 million dollars so far, and the bills are still coming in. Parks Canada has issued a statement saying bids it received for the third phase of the project were higher than expected, which prompted a new round of tenders.
