Unfortunate that Canada doesn't have its own (at least) small-time fab for these things.

Looks like Hack The North is located in Waterloo? Their website is very confusing to navigate.

We do a run of 250 similar badges for a non-tech convention every year. ~$10 per badge is about right all in. We've also done runs without ICs (just LEDs, a switch, and button cell battery) for about ~$4 some years.

I’m curious to know - the author describes many pitfalls.

But - how much work is this for an experienced PCB designer?

How long would it take someone skilled to get such a thing designed?
