It should also be noted that out of major Canadian cities, Winnipeg has the highest percentage of it's office space located in the downtown area. The whole "all our offices are going to the suburbs!" narrative doesn't jive with the data - check out office space statistics by CBRE for the data.
The city produces a graph on this data on page 2-12 of this document.
