After 8 successful years with the Trust, Mr. Parravano will be stepping down from his position on April 25th, 2023.

“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to thank Jason for building a portfolio of 101 properties, across 4 provinces, leased to some of the most notable banners in the country. Under his leadership, the REIT delivered solid growth, all while sticking to the strategy that we have developed. We wish him nothing but the best of luck in his future endeavours. Although we regret Jason’s decision to leave the company, the REIT is in a great position to continue to execute its strategy as we have a solid operational and leadership team. Mr. Henley has all the capabilities to take over as our CEO and we wish him the best of luck going forward in continuing to execute our growth strategy,” says Michel Trudeau, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

“For almost a decade, while serving as the REIT’s CFO and for the last 5 years, its President and CEO, I have had the privilege to work alongside some of the most talented people in the industry and I am proud of what we accomplished together. Leaving at this time was not an easy decision, but after much consideration, I have decided to embark on a new career opportunity. As I move on to new challenges, I wish the company continued growth and success,” says Jason Parravano.

“I am excited to assume the position of President and CEO of the Trust. Through my previous six years with the REIT, I have worked in tandem with Jason to execute our strategy and propel the REIT to a portfolio of over 100 properties. Moving forward, we remain dedicated to expanding our portfolio of high-quality triple net and management-free properties across Canada, all while prioritizing the creation of sustainable, long-term value for our stakeholders,” says Kevin Henley.
