I must admit that I'm by no means an expert on construction or engineering, but my (only) research on the topic seems to indicate that costs of construction aren't too different in Winnipeg versus other major Canadian cities but again, I know next to nothing about this type of thing. (From Altus' 2018 Construction Cost Guide).
