Winnipeg's buildings are also fairly large, new, and modern. Presumably they all would have had electricity and running water when built. The original wiring wouldn't have been that great, but at least there is a place to put wiring. Many older buildings did not even have that and have been reused.
There was an Icelandic bank that opened here (Landsbanki) and I heard that they will also have an office in Winnipeg. In Halifax they occupy an office building that was constructed in 1820. Maybe they have also set up shop in an older building in Winnipeg.
